This year, the Carbase family came together once again for our highly anticipated annual Christmas party. The 2024 celebration was more than just an evening of festive fun; it was a chance to reflect on our shared successes, strengthen our community spirit, and support causes close to our hearts.A Night to RememberThe Christmas party was held at Bristol Marriott Royal Hotel, a location near our Bristol and Weston-super-Mare stores, which was beautifully transformed into a winter wonderland for the evening. Our team enjoyed delicious food, great music, and a few surprises along the way. The atmosphere was nothing short of magical.Raising Funds for Vital CausesOne of the most special aspects of this year’s party was our collective effort to make a difference. Through raffles, games, and generous donations, we raised an incredible £2,745.60. The funds will be split between two charities that hold significant meaning to us: Bristol Children’s Hospital and Cancer Research UK.Bristol & Weston Hospitals CharityFocusing on the Bristol Children's Hospital: Supporting young patients and their families during challenging times, Bristol Children’s Hospital plays a vital role in our local community and we are proud to raise funding for Bristol & Weston Hospitals CharityCancer Research UKAs a leading organisation in the fight against cancer, Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work is crucial for countless individuals and families.Recognising Our TeamThe evening also provided an opportunity to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our team.
