Tomorrow is the first day of Christmas, (yes can you believe it!) and to mark the occasion we have created our very own advent calendar celebrating 12 days of the festive season.

In the coming days, the Winter Voices newsletter will be posted through your doors and throughout December we’ll be spreading the festive cheer.

We will be treating you to carol singing from Golden Lane Housing colleagues, we’ll also be raising money for the Maureen Betsy project through our charity raffle and Christmas jumper day and we’ll be surprising some of our tenants with much needed gifts delivered by our very own Resolve Solutions and there may even be a visit from Dixie the Dog.

While we’re looking forward to the festivities, we also recognise that Christmas can be a difficult time for people. It’s important to know that if you are struggling to cope there are a number of organisations you can reach out to for help.

Samaritans

The Samaritans are there for anyone who’s struggling to cope. Their volunteers take calls from people 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Including Christmas Day.
