The afternoon was packed with activities including a Christmas quiz, raffle and even bingo. Residents tucked into a delicious buffet of sausage rolls, sandwiches and cakes.  

The festivities continued with a special visit from pupils at Meanwood Primary School who performed Christmas carols.

Barbara, one of the residents who organised the party, said:
“What a lovely, festive afternoon it was. Events like these are so important, especially around the holidays because they bring people together.”
