Barchester Hall Park care home in Bulwell recently presented Diversify Education and Communities CIC with a cheque for £600. The support of the grant, we organised a heart-warming Christmas event at the Beechdale Community Centre, bringing together over one-hundred and five residents for a day filled with joy, camaraderie, and festive cheer.

The Christmas event served as a cornerstone of community unity, providing a welcoming space for residents to come together, celebrate, and create cherished memories.

From lively activities and entertainment to delicious food and beverages, every aspect of the event was thoughtfully curated to foster a sense of belonging and inclusion among attendees. In addition to the festivities at the Community Centre, we extended our outreach efforts by delivering food to three supported housing projects within Nottingham.

This initiative aimed to ensure that individuals and families facing challenges, particularly during the holiday season, had access to nutritious meals and essential supplies. Through these endeavours, we were able to spread warmth, kindness, and goodwill throughout the Beechdale community and extend our support to vulnerable individuals and families in need. The grant provided us with the resources and flexibility to organise impactful events and initiatives that brought hope and joy to those we serve.
