Ms Minshull said the event was held to bring families closer for the holidays. She said: “Our Christmas event encouraged families to celebrate and have fun together in a safe and caring environment. It was fantastic to see the children's faces when Father Christmas arrived to hand out gifts”. 5113482101.
