On 19th December
2014, the youth members returned to Moorcroft Special School in order to
merrily organise a Christmas themed tea party for all 65 school children. Youth
members worked together in the morning to prepare an array of freshly made
sandwiches and had prepared Christmas themed gift bags, in a previous youth
meeting, for the children. We were once again very grateful to be generously
provided with a variety of nut free cakes from Karen Woods, at the Just Love
Food Company, which the children thoroughly enjoyed!

The Christmas themed party
commenced with enthusiasm from both youth members and the children at Moorcroft.
Both the children and youth members really delved into the Christmas spirit as Christmas
songs echoed through the room and various party games were played - such as
pass the parcel, followed by various energetic rounds of musical statues, where
a youth member dressed as Santa judged the children and rewarded the winners
with various prizes. At the end of the tea party, Santa Claus, and another
youth member who dressed up as an Elf, surprised the children with the party
bags, which were stashed with goodies for the children to enjoy, and was a
memento of the day.

The children were ecstatic to
receive these party bags, as youth members had packed four different kinds, and
to see Santa. This was very rewarding for us youth members to witness - as
giving to others is what truly made us happy, more than any material gift we
could have received, and it enabled us to really think about the true spirit of
Christmas. We are very grateful to Moorcroft Special School for providing us
with this wonderful opportunity to serve in our community and give us the
chance to touch the lives of others, in any small way that we can as a youth
wing.
