In a heart warming display of community spirit, the Flintshire Community Development Team, in collaboration with Ysgol Treffynnon and Community Focused schools, organised a special Christmas event at the Holway Community Centre yesterday. The initiative aimed to bring joy to the local community while fostering intergenerational connections and strengthening the bond between students and residents.

Students and volunteers, gathered at the Holway Community Centre to prepare and serve a festive Christmas dinner for members of the community. The event not only provided a delicious meal but also created a wonderful opportunity for meaningful interactions between the younger generation and local residents.

The Christmas dinner featured traditional delights, including a mouth-watering main course and delectable pudding, setting the stage for a joyous afternoon. As part of the festivities, attendees were treated to an entertaining game of bingo, adding an extra layer of excitement to the day.

Adding a musical touch to the celebration, the junior choir from Ysgol Treffynnon joined the event, filling the air with the sounds of festive songs. The presence of the choir not only enhanced the festive atmosphere but also showcased the talent and enthusiasm of the young students.

Miri, Abigail, Evie, and Maja, students from Ysgol Treffynnon, played a pivotal role in representing our school with grace and dedication. Their efforts were instrumental in ensuring the success of the event, and their commitment to serving the community was truly commendable.

The event marked a fantastic example of collaboration between local schools, community organisations, and enthusiastic volunteers. By bringing together different generations and fostering connections, the initiative goes beyond the festive season, promoting a sense of unity and togetherness within the Flintshire community.

The success of the event at Holway Community Centre exemplifies the spirit of giving and togetherness that defines the festive season, leaving a lasting impact on both the organisers and the members of the community who were fortunate to experience the warmth and camaraderie of the day.
