Cocoon Care After Care:

Cocoon Care After Care is hoping to raise funds to give young people in the community who grew up in care the best Christmas!

The annual event aims to celebrate young carer leavers, acknowledge their resilience and create positive memories.

All money raised will go towards transport to ensure the guests can be picked up and taken home safely, entertainment throughout the day, presents and the food for the Christmas dinner. 

If you would like to make a donation please visit the JustGiving page.

If you would like to buy a present for a guest you can buy a gift from the online wish list, or shop local at The Hare and The Moon in Twickenham who have a specially curated gift list.
