Community Christmas Meals

Thanks again to our wonderful friends from Capita we've been able to spread some Christmas cheer to local families with our free Christmas meals.

On Monday 12th December we held a special family meal which was attended by nearly 50 people who all enjoyed a traditional Christmas lunch and dessert which was prepared, cooked and served to them by a team of volunteers from Capita. Christmas tunes were provided by Harvest Chapel Church who also kindly donated crackers and treats.

On Wednesday 14th December we held another dinner for adults from the local community. There were lots of smiling faces and full bellies by the end of the meal.

We want to thank our friends from Capita for providing the money to pay for the food and for their brilliant staff who donned their Christmas jumpers to help.

We'd also like to thank Barry's Fruit & Veg and North Shields Quality Butchers for their contribution.

We hope that our community meals will be back again next year, so if you'd like to benefit please come down to the centre and get to know us.

Santa Letters & Visits

Another Christmas offer which is fast becoming a tradition at the centre is our Santa Letters & Visits. Local children were posting their letters to Santa in our special post box throughout November and the lucky first 100 children who live in NE29 6/7 got a special visit from Santa to their house!

Everyone who sent a letter got a personalised letter back, this is always a special time of year for children so it's great that we can work closely with Santa every year as we know how busy he is!

Christmas Fair

We held our Christmas Fiar on Saturday 26th November, it was a brilliant day with over 300 visitors.

We had Christmas tunes from Bay-Uke and Lou's Choir, rides and games, stalls and crafts and of course a grotto for Santa and his elves.

Our garden volunteers helped people make their own Christmas wreath.

Christmas Crafts

For 6 weeks in October and November we offered evening craft sessions manned by helpful volunteers and inclduing the materials and some refreshments for just £3.00.

If you like crafting and would like us to run more evening sessions contact us on 0191 3410033 or email info@meadowwellconnected.org.uk
