The Les Amis Club is holding its first ever Christmas Fayre at Bethlehem Church Hall today from 10:00 to 13:00 to help fund its activities.
Cushions, draft excluders, miniature beehives, piggy banks, photo frames and many more arts and crafts will be on sale, all made by Les Amis residents who attend the Club.
Les Amis is a local charity set up to support people with disabilities.
Over 16 residents regularly attend the Les Amis Club that opened earlier this year.
Amanda Cotillard, Les Amis Club Manager, said: “Creating Christmas items to sell for the Fayre has given our residents a sense of purpose during their arts and crafts sessions. It has been heartening to see the residents’ dedication and creativity to their projects. I hope islanders will support the residents and come down to see and
buy their creations.”
Stallholders selling Christmas cards and decorations, household goods, children’s toys and handmade crafts will also be there. Christmas Wreaths can also be
pre-ordered on the day ready for collection after the 16th December.

Lauren Carré, Les Amis PR, Marketing and Fundraising Manager, said: “The confidence levels of our residents has greatly improved since attending the Les Amis
Club and the residents are very excited to see their creations on sale at the Christmas Fayre. Thank you to Bethlehem Church for its support and ZEDRA our corporate sponsor for funding the Les Amis Club and providing this opportunity for our residents.”
Funds from the Fayre will go back into the Les Amis Club so that it can continue to provide a variety of activities for Les Amis residents.
