It was back in the 1990s FACE first held its annual Christmas Fair in the Western General Hospital and it ran (in all weathers) until 2019. It stopped as the world dealt with the implications of Covid19. The fair was not just about fundraising, it brought everyone together including staff, patients and their families.
Each year so many people volunteered to help at the fair and FACE received great support from local organisations. We valued everything that was donated or created for us, to raise funds for FACE.
Thank you to everyone who helped and contributed along the way. It was hard work but always such an enjoyable day. The fair provided an important link into the local community and at Christmas time this will continue, as our popular Santa Sleigh takes to the road.
