There are those who cannot enjoy Christmas time as much as others do because their basic needs are not being met.
As we do every year, Grocott’s Mail is bringing a ray of hope to the underprivileged ones by collecting donations to help meet these needs. This year the Home of Joy will be receiving funds raised by the Grocott’s Mail Christmas Cheer Fund.

however small.
