A little boy who I adored, William, was cared for by James Hopkins Trust. James Hopkins Trust made a great impact on his and his families life, as they do with the many other lives they touch.

I take great pleasure in shouting about and supporting James Hopkins Trust. At every opportunity, I talk about the work they do and fill my time throughout the year volunteering.

James Hopkins Trust do fundraising brilliantly, but having the volunteers behind their unique and wonderfully executed events is crucial! There are plenty of ways to get involved. Whether it’s bucket collecting, manning hoopla or the cake stall at their events or getting my elf hat on for Santa’s grotto over the Christmas period, volunteering with JHT is as easy as it is fun and incredibly rewarding knowing you’re making a difference in your own little way.

My favourite time of year is Christmas and weekends at the grotto with James Hopkins trust is my favourite way to spend it – most weekends throughout December my cheeks hurt from smiling! It’s the perfect way to give back, have fun and feel the magic of Christmas. Santa’s always recruiting so get in touch with Charlene at fundraising@jameshopkinstrust.org.uk

Thank you JHT 🧡
