Children's Party at NDC

The Children's Party at NDC was organised by Kim Kandola and Dawn Denton on Saturday 28 November 2009.  The party was opened to all employees children between the ages of 3-10.  

We have a raffle and raise money for Barnardo's.   Marcia from the Fostering Service in Coventry attended the event, but I was also hoping that she would be able to bring some Barnardo's children along to the party.  Unfortunately this was not possible but we will certainly bear this in mind for another year.

For this years party we booked an external production company called 'Chaplins' to perform 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'.  The show lasted 75 minutes, which was followed by the children enjoying party food.  After this, Dave Bebbington, Hub Manager gave a vote of thanks to everyone for attending the party, he also thanked Chaplins and proceeded to thank Marcia for being there from Barnardo's.  Then Dave proceeded to draw the raffle, which raised £203.00 for Barnardo's, plus £95.00 which was donated for Barnardo's at the Dawali celebrations.

At the end of the afternoon we asked Chaplins to call each child on to stage and give them a present and an advent calendar. 

Feedback at the end of the afternoon was that the party was a complete success with both parents and children enjoying the event.
