The MVP Lunch Club held its Christmas Party on Thursday 15th December. 45 guests sat down to a buffet lunch and were serenaded by the choir from Mortimer St Johns School. The children were, as always, a delight and really got our lunch guests into the Christmas spirit.

Another very popular trip for the people of this community is the Christmas trip to the Royal Albert Hall to enjoy the beautiful sounds of Christmas.

The show was well attended with 289 visitors recorded. 

23 paintings were sold to the value of £2299 and the total figure raised for our charity was £913.

 This amount will be donated to the Cardiac Fund at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in memory of Mary Edwards, our friend and co-founder, who died in August.

A big thank you to all those who donated in the recent Bag2School collection. 2,085kg of clothing was collected, earning £834. The MVP has decided to donate their share of the proceeds to Willink, so Willink, St John's and St Mary's will receive £278 each.

A total of £2,215 was collected across the 3 collections in 2016.
