What a fun way to start a four week countdown until Christmas. 🎅🏼

The GEF Christmas Fayre was in full swing yesterday at the Village Hotel Aberdeen. Thank you to our wonderful volunteers who helped run the event, from Kirsty Oag and her Dad, Stuart, being fantastic games masters to Lisa Palfreyman showing her raffle ticketing skills. We couldn’t have done it without each one of our many helpers. It really does take a village 🥰

The local crafters were a big hit with guests and we are delighted to have them join us. Not only did the event support GEF but it showcased some brilliant local talents 🧡

We are pleased to share the event raised an amazing £1,612.

A big thank you goes to our event sponsors I-Protech who covered the room hire and expenses, meaning every penny raised goes to supporting kids in Kenya through education and providing specialist equipment to children in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire living with severe disabilities.

Thank you to Carol Jane Angus for hosting us and providing drinks for all our guests. Thank you to Tony Jones who was taking Christmas photos and donated his profits to GEF. Lastly, our awesome bakers! You guys have some seriously tasty talents 🍰 🤩
