As you may be aware, our neighbour Charles, who lost his wife Rose earlier this year, has recently moved into residential care as he can no longer care for himself at home. I would like to send him a gift over the festive period, to help him settle into his new home and let him know that his neighbours are thinking of him.

I fully appreciate this is a busy and expensive time of year for everyone, so there is no obligation to contribute, but if you'd like to, please do so and leave a message so I can ensure it is passed onto him.

Thanks all and I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
