On Thursday, 7 December BD Group hosted a heart-warming Christmas Dinner Dance for over two hundred elderly residents from local care homes.

Guests took centre stage and enjoyed an afternoon filled with fun, laughter, music, and great food. A perfect way to show our gratitude to the stalwarts of our community who have contributed so much over the years.

The highlight of the afternoon was a captivating performance by a group of talented children from nearby Primary School, Marsh Green. Their delightful medley of Christmas carols added a touch of magic to the atmosphere, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone.

There was also a special guest appearance from Santa Claus himself, adding a touch of extra festive cheer and handing out small gifts to the delighted attendees.

This event was part of BD Group's commitment to giving back to the community and doing everything with heart. A great example of community engagement, with staff, volunteers, local supporters, and a local school collaborating to help deliver a memorable afternoon.
