Charity Event in Gloucester

Kicking off the Christmas Season!


On the 1st December I volunteered my entertainment services free of charge for a Gloucester based nursing team and their patients.

Barton Gate District Nursing Team held a Christmas party for their patients in celebration of the 'Look After Your Legs' initiative.

The campaign includes a weekly clinic for patients to visit. The clinic was set up 8 years ago to raise awareness of the importance of keeping your legs healthy. It provides vital information, support from other patients and is a social event for those who would otherwise be sat at home alone.

I sang a mixture of 50s and 60s, Christmas carols and party songs to brighten up the party. It was great to see some up dancing and singing along with a big smile on their face!

I'd like to thank all the staff at the party for making me feel so welcome on the day.
