Events

Welcome to our recent event gallery. Here are just a few words and pics about events we have held throughout '07.


Wednesday 12 December

Christmas Carol Service

The carol service brings together older people from across our services; residents, clients and WaGG beneficiaries, all of whom really look forward to the event each year. This year they got an extra special treat with St Michael’s Choir singing a selection of beautiful carols while St Mathew’s Church of England Primary School Chamber Choir sang two songs including a lovely version of ‘Come and join the celebration’.  Everyone was then treated to a drinking and home made mince pies.

 

Wednesday 17 October

Bubbles of fun

The evening saw the champagne and conversation flowing as many of our young supporters attended the fabulous champagne evening 'bubbles of fun' at Amuse Bouche, the elegant yet vibrant champagne bar in Parsons Green. The annual event is always a fun and raises much needed funds which will be used to improve the lives of many vulnerable and isolated older people.
