A huge, heartfelt THANK-YOU! to everybody who took part in COG's Christmas Silent Auction this year. We raised, phenomenally, just over £2000!

‍

We are so grateful to all the local businesses and individuals who donated prizes to help us raise much needed funds, supporting us to carry out the vital work of COG. Christmas can be a difficult time for young families, especially in the present climate with the cost-of-living being so high, and families are facing many new challenges, which often compound existing situations. Children can find this time of year overwhelming as well as exciting. We use our expertise and understanding of all our children to provide festive cheer in ways they can enjoy and relate to, building confidence and resilience along the way.

We are equally grateful to all the people who made such generous bids for our wonderful Auction items, and we hope the winners will enjoy their items and experiences. Please make sure you check any end dates on the vouchers to ensure you book your experiences within the allotted timeframes, which are always generous but it's good to know what they are!

If you would like to be added to the list of Silent Auction recipients next year, so that you can join in with the bidding, or might be able to donate a prize to be auctioned, please contact us. Thank-you!
