Helping you create your own traditions, magic and sparkle, at home.
Christmas can be a difficult time for some of our children and families. This year will be a tough one for everyone.
We want to help you celebrate Your Christmas at home, together.
So throw away the rule book. Create your own traditions. Decorate a wonky cactus not a tree! Bake crumbling cookies. Make a calming cushion igloo. Read new stories.
Embrace the chaos. Celebrate the imperfect moments.
Just do it together and with love.
We’ve thought long and hard to find some ways to fill the downtime and celebrate being together for Your Christmas, so here we go…
We have funny and entertaining Christmas stories read by our very special guests John Thomson, actor and comedian, Bishop Mark, the Bishop of Chester and his wife Lindsay, Norman our Chief Executive and the wonderful Rico.
Fantastically creative Christmas crafts brought to you by Aeron and Iyla plus an origami masterpiece from our the talented team at Future.
Fabulously delicious Christmas recipes very kindly shared by the fantastic Ainsley Harriott and BBC Good Food/Immediate Media.
We’ve got some Christmas tips and advice to help ease you through this sometimes difficult and often very busy time.
And finally…a spectacularly seasonal Christmas Quiz from the comfort of your own home!!
We really hope you share in this with us and have some fun at the same time!
