Cross Keys Homes held a Christmas party at Stanground Community Centre, which saw Santa pay a visit and distribute gifts to children not only in CKH’s own temporary accommodation, but also those from across the city who had no permanent home at Christmas.

The huge involvement and generosity of 20 organisations made this event possible by donating gifts for all the children and parents, food for the party as well as food parcels, volunteering their time, transporting people to the party and supplying the free hire of the venue.
