Our annual Light Up A Child's Life Christmas Party is on Sunday, November 25.


It will be at the same location as previous years - but please be aware the Coast Plaza Hotel has changed names. It is now the Best Western Premier Plaza Hotel.

Marks and Spencer Easy Dressing

Marks and Spencer have created a special range of clothes adapted for kids who need extra help. Whether they have feeding tubes or simply need clothes that are easy to put on and gentle on sensitive skin, their clothing could help make dressing easier, quicker, more comfortable and more fun!

The prices are very reasonable and so is the
shipping to Canada.
