Santa’s in town

This week the Flourishing Families team had the wonderful task of distributing around over 40 big sackfuls of presents to families in some of the schools we work with.

The presents in each bag had been individually chosen and wrapped by clients and staff of Sedulo Financial Consultants.

Thank you Sedulo for all your hard work in sourcing and matching sponsors to these families in your incredible ‘Reverse Santa’s Grotto’ where the joy of Christmas becomes about giving and not receiving. There will be a lot of smiling faces next week!
