Welcome to my Skillswithlils Christmas Fundraiser 2024!

This year I'm doing things a little differently after I announced live on BBC Radio York in January that I wanted to actually serve Christmas dinner (much to my parents surprise haha).

I'm partnering with local organisations to make as much Christmas happiness as I can in Scarborough. I really want to put my cooking skills to good use this year and actually cook for people on Christmas day, people that may be alone or unable to afford a Christmas meal. I will be cooking at Gallows Close on Christmas Day, alongside the lovely volunteers from Scarborough Christmas Together, serving some of my legendary giant yorkshire puddings and making a lovely Christmas cake as part of a Christmas dinner for lonely or isolated people that want some company on such a special day. I will be fundraising for the cost of the meal by making my giant yorkshire puddings and also selling some Christmas crafts.

I have also pledged to support some other local organisations in putting together some Christmas food parcels for those that aren't able to get to get to the centre for the meal. I am also buying some Christmas bedding for children at our local children's hospice, Martin House, that are having to spend their Christmas in the hospice. I want to spread as much Christmas cheer as I possibly can.

I hope you'll support me once again as I can't do any of this without your amazing help!

Much love, Lils x
