As we plan a brand-new year and head into Spring, we look back on some of the wonderful events we had over the Christmas period and look forward to our amazing calendar for 2024. Once again, our Patron Griff Rhys Jones was back with Happy Christmas Ipswich 4, and this time it was bigger than ever! A star-studded line-up including Dara Ó Briain, Dame Joanna Lumley, Rob Brydon and world-renowned keyboardist Rick Wakeman, all took to the stage to raise a record-breaking £134,500! Our environmentally friendly Christmas tree recycling was also back for a third year. We collected an amazing 2,662 trees and raised over £29,000! A huge thank you to everyone involved in these and our many other events. Your support allows us to continue providing care and to be there for families like Winnie's. Winnie has had to endure so much, from the moment she was born by emergency c-section in December 2014, and last year found she has a rare genetic condition. She’s one of only 15 children in the world known to have this variation of the CDK8 gene. “EACH has been a big part of our lives, right from the beginning,” said Fiona, Winnie’s mum. “It was so hard and a very difficult time, but we got so much help and support from the team” The Big Tea Break Drink tea, eat cake and feed your wellbeing – all for a good cause! Share a cuppa and cake with friends and family as part of The Big Tea Break and make a difference to local children and families.
