<\/a>Firstly in early November we packed back packs to support Mary’s Meals charity.Later,\u00a0 artistic talents were put to use as we decorated a tree in the St Faith’s Christmas tree festival. December saw us helping at the Light Up a Life event at Jospice and also walking the streets of Crosby with the Santa Float. Thanks to the generosity of residents in the Thornton area we raised \u00a3500 for local charities and good causes. We supported Crosby Food Bank with donations of Christmas treats.
