*Update after the event*
Well that was a fun evening – the mind reader was incredible! A huge thank you to everyone who so generously donated prizes and dug deep to buy lots of raffle tickets. This morning I have made a donation of all the proceeds to KidsOut – £276.62 in total (after Paypal fees for the ticket purchases).

It’s that time of the year where lots of kind and very generous local business owners donate prizes for our Christmas party (which you’re VERY welcome to come to (it’s on Zoom this year, and includes a mind-reading / magic show too!). The ticket proceeds all go to support the KidsOut Giving Tree campaign, which provides a Christmas gift for every child in the UK living in a womens’ refuge, usually after they and their mum have escaped from the trauma of domestic abuse with almost nothing.
Here is a growing list of the prizes donated so far, which will be updated as they come in. Thank you so much everyone. If you would like to donate something too, please get in touch with details.
