Today at the Family Caring Centre our amazing team wore 'purple' to support IBD Awareness Day!! Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, affects so many individuals and families in our community. By wearing 'purple' we're helping to raise awareness, show support, and remind everyone that no one has to face it alone 💜

🎄✨ What a wonderful festive season at Family Caring Centre! ✨🎄

We have had a fantastic time celebrating Christmas over the past few weeks. Congratulations to our lucky raffle winner – we hope you enjoy your prize! 🎁🍀

Our Mental Health Support Group Christmas Dinner and Nibbles & Natter Christmas Party were full of laughter, good company and festive cheer, bringing people together and helping to reduce isolation at what can be a difficult time of year. 🎄❤️

We also loved celebrating with our amazing team at our Volunteers’ Christmas Party – thank you to each and every volunteer for your kindness, commitment and support throughout the year. We couldn’t do what we do without you. 🌟

A huge thank you to Yewtree Butchers and Deli for providing the beautiful meals, which were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone 🍽️👏, and to our very special guests The Grinch and Father Christmas for bringing extra smiles, fun and Christmas magic to the day 🎅🎄💚

Thank you to everyone who attended, supported and helped make these events so special. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from everyone at Family Caring Centre. 🎄✨
