Following the success of the Hellesdon Summer Fete in August, our Trust continued its fundraising towards a Multi-Use Games Area to be built at Hellesdon Hospital, with a Christmas Fayre on Saturday, 9 December.
The festive event offerred staff, service users, carers and members of the public the chance to stock up on Christmas gifts, buy homemade Christmas cakes, meet Santa Claus and take part in some fayre games.
As well as stalls selling homemade gifts, decorations and wreaths made by our staff and service users, there were be a number of local businesses selling their wares.
Attendees could also warm-up with some non-alcoholic mulled wine and hot chocolate whilst enjoying Christmas songs.
The event took place 12pm-4pm in the Main Hall, Hellesdon Hospital.
All proceeds from the event went towards NSFT's charitable fund, and will be spent creating a games area on the hospital site which service users will be able to use for a range of activities and sports, including basketball, tennis and netball.
