🎄🎁 A HUGE THANK YOU TO SSAFA AND THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF DONCASTER COUNCIL 🎁🎄

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to SSAFA and the Chief Executive of City of Doncaster Council, Damien Allen, who have both made incredibly generous donations to our 200 Christmas Presents for 200 Ri**es appeal.

Our soldiers are currently deployed in Cyprus on Op TOSCA, carrying out peacekeeping duties and spending Christmas away from their loved ones. ❤️

These generous donations will help us send a little piece of home to our troops, reminding them that they are valued, appreciated and, most importantly, never forgotten.

It is truly heartwarming to see organisations and individuals come together to support our Armed Forces community. Your generosity means so much and will help us bring some Christmas cheer to those who give so much in service to others.

From everyone involved in the appeal, thank you for your kindness, generosity and support. 🇬🇧💚

Let’s make sure our Ri**es know that Doncaster is thinking of them this Christmas! 🎄🎁

🎄🎁 A HUGE THANK YOU TO TESCO BALBY! 🎁🎄

We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Tesco in Balby for supporting our Christmas Present Appeal for the 200 Ri**es currently deployed in Cyprus on Op TOSCA, keeping the peace and serving away from their loved ones.

Your support means so much to us. ❤️ These soldiers will be spending Christmas away from their families, and our aim is to send them a little Christmas magic, remind them that they are not forgotten, and let them know that their community is thinking of them.

🙏 There is now a donation trolley at Tesco Balby for anyone who would like to contribute a Christmas present and help us spread some festive cheer to our troops.

Every gift, no matter how big or small, will help us show these incredible soldiers how much they are appreciated.

💙 Celebrating our young people – the future of Doncaster 💙

A heartfelt thank you from QPD, to Civic Mayor Jackie Dudley for choosing to support the Quality Personal Development Programme during her year as Civic Mayor. By championing this important work, she is helping to invest in our young people and the future of our city.

At the service in Doncaster Minster, Jacob Pemberton and Jack Gill delivered a truly heartwarming and powerful speech. Their words reminded us why we must continue to invest in, encourage and support the next generation.

Jacob and Jack, you should both be incredibly proud of yourselves. To stand up, speak with such passion and advocate for other young people is something truly special. Doncaster should be proud to have young people like you who are willing to use their voices to inspire others and remind us all of the difference we can make when we support one another.

Our young people are not just our future; they are making a difference right now. They deserve to be heard, encouraged and given every opportunity to reach their full potential.

Thank you, Jackie, for recognising the importance of this programme, and thank you, Jacob and Jack, for reminding us why supporting our young people must always be a priority. ❤️

When we invest in our young people, we invest in the future of Doncaster. 💙
