A really massive shout out and thanks to Trevor Absolom for an amazing contribution to our guests' Christmas dinner at New Beginnings.
Trevor manages @theskangsters - a ska/soul/two tone group who celebrated their 30th anniversary at the Grosvenor Casino in Reading last week.
A handful of tickets were kindly donated by those who couldn't make the event to be auctioned on our behalf. This donation of just over £200 will make a massive difference to our guests! Thank you so much - we are all very grateful! ☺️ 🙏

An absolutely huge Thank You to the amazing team from Vidett (Reading)!
They came in on Friday laden with pizza, hot dogs, cakes, tea and coffee to run an extra All Day Cafe. They covered the counter with pumpkins and Halloween decorations which looked fantastic! They also then help reorganise and sort our clothes cupboard. We can actually find things now!
