Christmas Evening Fundraises for Naomi House Children’s Hospice

Over 500 children attended a special Christmas evening organised by the Haskins Garden Centre at West End, Southampton to fundraise for Naomi House, the children’s hospice. Father Christmas and his band of helpers offered children activities including story telling, glitter tattoos, a raffle and donations.

Claire Huxley from Bitterne and her daughter Isabelle, 4 and son Charles, 2 were the first to use the special Santa post box to send their present wish list for Christmas Day.

Matt Hill, General Manager of the centre, said that they were delighted with response from customers to the evening.

“ We appreciate the generosity of everyone who attended the evening that had that special atmosphere which only the approach of Christmas can bring.”
