Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

The Railroad comes to Brookfield Walk… Choo choo.

We love Christmas…..We love raising money for charity and volunteering……..So what better way to both raise funds for charity, along with creating a Christmas display to raise funds for an amazing charity.

Bristol Children’s Hospital (Wallace and Gromit - Grand Appeal), which along with other charities this year, are struggling more than usual. The hospital has been a fantastic support for families, including our own.

This year our train (Santa’s In-to-(Bristol)-City Express) was created from Jon visualising a display created by a small christmas decoration from last year. The barrier was created from Jon’s imagination whilst sitting at a level crossing on his way to work!

Decorating our house with our Christmas display takes a huge amount of time and effort. 100% of the money raised will go to the charity. This year’s project was started in June and we didn’t have many weeks when we wouldn't be working on it!

We would also like to publically thank the special ladies for the creation of our Christmas Wreath and the kind gentleman for the use of the smoke machine. Also thanks should go to our neighbours, who have offered help and been supportive when we’ve been working on the project at night whilst our back garden has been illuminated!

We’ve already decided on our project for next year, with another brilliant charity. We have starting to plan and prep.

2020 has been a tough year for everyone and has had a terrible effect on those that normally require the use of hospitals. We really hope you enjoy seeing our display and feel able to make a donation large or small

Thank you.

Jon and Lucy would like to wish you all a very 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
