Christmas came early for members of Halstead Day Centre as they enjoyed a week of festive parties.

The Bridge Street centre held a Christmas lunch every day this week to ensure all their members had a merry old time.

Just over 20 members were invited per day and enjoyed a dinner with all the trimmings and games and entertainment.

Manager Veronica Harman said: “It has been very hard work for our staff but it has been well worth it for our members.

“It means the world to them bearing in mind some don’t see anyone all over Christmas, I would say 60 per cent won’t see anyone so we are like their family.”
