Earlier in the month, the Stables had already hosted a day of Willow Wreath making and an ‘open office’ afternoon where tenants could drop in for some Christmas refreshments and meet staff whilst listening to some carols sung around the tree by some of our Nursery children.

The latest event was a Santa’s grotto, where children could enjoy some Christmas crafts and meet Santa himself. Children attending were given a gift including a selection box donated by Cassiltoun’s contractor City Building.

Other gifts and funding from the event came from many contractors, suppliers and funders without whom Cassiltoun said it would not be able to deliver events like this and to whom it extended heartfelt thanks.

A spokesperson added: “Our last event of the year is our volunteer Christmas meal where the Association celebrates and thanks all the volunteers that play an integral and essential part in contributing to our boards of management and/or devising and delivering the many community events and programmes throughout the year.”
