Thank you VERY much @JohnLewisRetail for giving 50 microwave ovens for care experienced young adults with @Bhamchildtrust and thanks also to @GoldFSF for arranging it. These will be of so much help to young adults moving to independence in their own homes.@CouldrickAndy
Behind the scenes, @waitrose and @JohnLewisRetail have been our Secret Santa this year. They have provided food hampers for 1,200 young people who would otherwise be alone at Christmas. We would like to shout a great big THANK YOU.
Just 2 days left to donate to this Crowdfunder - don’t miss your chance to help @donate1create1, @Bfriendscharity and @Bhamchildtrust give care leavers a fabulous Xmas Day and one to remember for the best reasons. https://t.co/rOnh3mFUDT

Please donate to help care leavers in Brum have a lovely Xmas, we did it for 5 years, really enjoyed sharing Xmas with these lovely young adults. V. glad Donate1Create1 and Bfriends ate organising a dinner and day to remember for the best reasons this year.
@ShivajiShivaLaw@lemnsissay Not sure what you’re saying directing us and Lemn to this & it’s not for us to judge either @BhamCityCouncil or @Bhamchildtrust but the Trust delivers services to children in care and care leavers and is praised in this report - see points 15 and 16.
@jake4shaw @Bhamchildtrust Really pleased you are doing this, Brum Xmas Dinner has thought of doing an Eid event, haven’t had the resources, but we know it’s just as important as Christmas.
Thank you very much to @thehsuite for giving us a very big discount for using their amazing venue for our Christmas dinner. It really hit the spot, great Xmas decorations, spacious and bright, helping our guests celebrate Christmas as we wished them to.
It was pure pleasure being a volunteer again for @McrXmasDinner founded by @lemnsissay as part of @GoldFSF Here is Jo and myself with a car packed with goodies to deliver to the guests on Xmas Day. I wish everyone a peaceful, healthy and happy New Year 2022.
@JamesTCobbler I love the ethos of your company and also the Alex Timpson Foundation which does so much to support people who are or were living in care - the books are excellent, accessible resources, which you kindly gave for guests @BrumXmasDinner, along with mugs for their hot choc kits.
Good morning Birmingham/West Midlands and all our wonderful friends/supporters. Thank you for your kindness and generosity and for helping make our 2021 Xmas Dinner so ‘Special’ Wishing you ALL a very happy New Year’s Eve and a Kind and Hopeful 2022
