From Christmas trees to carolling, toys, and Santa’s Grotto – John Lewis has done it all. Children supported by the Together Trust have taken part in lots of fun activities this holiday season.
Santa Claus is coming to town
Our children’s homes have been invited for a visit to Santa’s Grotto at John Lewis stores in Cheadle, where children could meet the elves that bring the magic to life, have a chat with Father Christmas and enjoy a meal provided by the store. Each young person is also getting a £25 voucher to spend on presents from John Lewis!
We wish you a Merry Christmas
Students from Inscape House School, our education setting for young people with autism, brightened up everyone’s morning at John Lewis in Cheadle. The group of enthusiastic pupils, dressed up in festive jumpers and equipped with bells, took over the store for an exclusive carol concert.
Deck the Halls
Over at our children’s homes, John Lewis interior stylists have been busy decorating for the holidays. Pocket Nook, our home for children with autism and complex needs in Bolton, has been very lucky to receive a wonderful Christmas tree and lots of other decorations to make the house more festive for the young people.
It’s so wonderful to see the spirit of Christmas alive and well throughout the Trust and to witness, once again, the generosity of our staff, students, partners and the public.
Christmas is traditionally a time for giving, but it’s also a time for counting our blessings and for saying thank you. We simply couldn’t do all that we do without the generosity of our corporate partners, our supporters, our volunteers and our donors, not just at Christmas but throughout the year.
