Each year, we host a magical Christmas Party at Forest Pines Hotel, bringing festive joy to around 200 children and family members whose lives are touched by a life-limiting or life-threatening condition.

It's a day where worries fade and wonder takes over - a day filled with laughter, twinkling lights, and unforgettable moments. From the jingle of the live Elf Band, to visits with Santa in his grotto, character appearances, arts and crafts, and a delicious festive buffet, every detail is designed to create joy and connection.

Santa's Sweet Stall adds a sprinkling of sugary delight, while the whole experience offers families a rare opportunity to simply be together - celebrating, smiling, and making cherished memories. Rooted in compassion, inclusion, and the true Spirit of Christmas, this special day reflects our deepest values: creating joy, honouring families, and lighting up the lives of children who need it most.
