I was thrilled to have been invited to join local residents at the Tudor Centre in Leicester for their community Christmas lunch.

Everyone had a great time and I really enjoyed being able to serve local residents their meals. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event happen.

On Friday, 15th December, I was delighted to announce the winner of my Christmas card competition. 

It was really difficult choosing a winner from all the fabulous entries I received, but one design stood out with her ‘Welcome to Leicester’ Christmas scene. I was really proud to present Asha Omar from Wolsey House Primary School with tickets to see Scrooge at the Curve and a book token for designing the winning entry.

Congratulations too to the runners up: Avah from year 3 at Forest Lodge Community Primary; Joanna from class 5L at Braunstone Frith Primary School and Chesley from year 4 at Beaumont Lodge Primary School. 

Thank you to all the children that took part, to all the infant, junior and primary schools in leicester West and a big thank you to this year’s sponsors!
