Just back from the Care Leavers Christmas Dinner at Leeds (@tcdleeds). Lovely people and lovely food. If the spirit of Christmas was anywhere today, it was certainly there. Hope all the other Care Leaver Christmas Dinners around the country (@GoldFSF) have gone equally as well.
Dignity is everything. Children in care often carry belongings in a bin bag, causing a loss of dignity.
With every bag you buy, we provide a child with a pack-away bag, giving them a sense of value.
Every purchase makes a real difference.

It’s good to be home! I want to say thank you to a group without whose support the walk would not have happened - Sinead MacGuinness for logistical support and for walking over half the way! Pure Legend
The Christmas Dinner Leeds walk continues - @SteveWLeeds and Mark from @TCDLeeds heading off on the next step, fuelled by a quick stop for a nice beer at Whitby Brewery. Impressive. And mad
A lovely day in Whitby, so glad I joined @SteveWLeeds for a section of the 111 mile walk he is doing now to raise money for @TCDLeeds. Thank you for all you do Steve! I hope you get a chance to put your feet up and recover on Tuesday!
Well that day three done! A big thank you, as always to @MarkNye4 for his support and encouragement along the way. Mark not only walks he helps to organise the Dinner. Please note perspective makes Mark look like a giant. I am standing a long way back.
