A huge thank you to members of the Framwellgate Moor and Pity Me Women’s Institute for organising this years Christmas party for  senior residents.

This year I managed to secure funding for the cost of the event from County Durham Housing Group, topped up with local funding from Mamie, Amanda and my budgets.

We also managed to attract more older residents and many who live on their own, including in County Durham Housing group homes to the event, which had around 60 participants.

As well as an excellent dinner, Durham City Youth Project young people helped out at the event and school children came along and sang Christmas carols.

The bingo was great, although I didn’t win, and it seemed to take a long time for anyone to shout House!

Thanks to everyone who was involved it was a great afternoon!
