Festive cheer rang out loud at Perry Common Community Hall today.

Stakeholders and volunteers from Witton Lodge Community Association were joined by representatives of partner organisations to tuck into a communal Christmas lunch.

And adding a little extra seasonal spice to the occasion, we decided to bring Christmas Jumper Day 2018 forward 48-hours so that everyone looked the part.

Homes and Property Officer, Alisha Vale, helped to co-ordinate the event.

“Christmas is a good opportunity to get all of our volunteers together and thank them for the great work they do for us throughout the year,” she said.

“It’s also a chance for us to say thank you to our partners for their support and the work that they do.”

The Christmas buffet went down a treat as did the Christmas crackers while some of music’s most popular Christmas classics helped spread the festive cheer.
