Christmas Reconnect Through Cookery

Posted on by

What a way to wrap up Reconnect Through Cookery for 2024! Our Caerphilly People First Christmas Party was a day filled with festive cheer, fun, and laughter! From the delicious buffet to the crackers, The Grinch, and our cheeky Naughty Elf, everyone had an amazing time dancing, socialising, and celebrating together.

A massive THANK YOU to:

Cheryl & Sharon for donating the selection boxes
Zoe for the advent calendars
Ffion for the brilliant quiz
Hayley for sorting the raffle
Darren for an epic disco

And a special shoutout to Pete the caretaker for opening up every week and always lending a hand.

To all our members — old and new — you’ve made this year unforgettable. So many new friendships were made, and we’ve created memories to last a lifetime. Merry Christmas, and we’ll see you all in the New Year!

RecRock Christmas Party Fun!

Today at Libanus Lifestyle Chapel, we celebrated in true festive style! The air was filled with Christmas cheer as we sang our favorite Christmas songs and enjoyed an incredible homemade Christmas buffet—it was absolutely delicious!

Dan opened the session with two amazing singers on guitars, performing some classic tunes. Their voices were fantastic and set the perfect tone for the day.

Everyone looked fabulous in their Christmas jumpers and outfits, bringing plenty of holiday spirit to the celebration.

A huge thank you to Dan and Lexy for organizing such a brilliant festive session, and to the team at Libanus for hosting us. We’ll be back in the New Year for RecRock at Fleur-de-lis on 15th January. Happy Holidays from all of us!

The Snow Queen’s Magnificent Christmas Message

Thanks to the incredible support from the Arts Council of Wales, we hosted a spectacular evening last night with Circo Rum Ba Ba’s ‘The Snow Queen’s Magnificent Christmas Message’ at Bargoed Community Centre. And wow, what a night it was!

What is Noson Allan? Noson Allan is all about bringing our community together for unique, joyful events that spread laughter, creativity, and connection. It’s a celebration of art, culture, and togetherness – and last night was no exception!

Circo Rum Ba Ba delivered an unforgettable performance with their dazzling cast. With 69 attendees and 7 amazing volunteers, the show was a massive hit! The cast interacted with the audience, sparking laughter, smiles, and festive cheer throughout the hall.

A huge shoutout to:

Amy and Cheryl, who served up delicious hot chocolate and snacks to keep everyone warm and cosy.
Kyle Richards, who spent the entire day at the venue, setting up props and ensuring everything ran smoothly – and even entertained us during the show!
Local care home staff, who went above and beyond to transport clients safely on a cold, dark evening. Your care and dedication are truly appreciated.
The children who took part and added extra magic to the evening!

Thank you to everyone who made the night special. The laughter, smiles, and festive spirit filled the air – and we couldn’t have done it without all of you. Let’s hope we can do it all again next year!

Merry Christmas from Caerphilly People First and The Parent Network!
