Christmas
Before the Christmas break our Mini Vinnies designed and made a variety of Christmas cards which were delivered to the housebound and elderly within our local parish. We received a huge amount of thanks and they really brightened up Christmas to know the children had thought of them. Well done everyone!
St Cuthbert’s Care Assembly
Our Mini Vinnies had a visit from St Cuthbert’s Care to talk about the work they do through donations and fundraising. It was a very interesting meeting and the Mini Vinnies are very keen to support the charity. We have planned a morning at a local nursing home to meet the residents and the choir will sing for them.
