Regional Construction Firms Bring Christmas Spirit to Leeds College of Building

LEEDS, U.K. - Rezul -- The Child Friendly Leeds team work in partnership with their network of Ambassadors to offer a range of opportunities and experiences to families supported by children's social care and third sector ambassador partners.

This year, Leeds College of Building (LCB) offered to host an event for Child Friendly Leeds and appealed to construction partners for help.

Thanks to the generosity of the construction employers, over 50 pre-school children met Santa in his magical grotto for a photo, a colouring book and a selection of festive sweets, including a chocolate selection box.

LCB CEO & Principal Nikki Davis said:

"This fantastic event came about after a chance conversation with Cllr Helen Hayden. Initially, it was supposed to be a small event in line with community hubs, but our partners came out in such force to support us that we've been able to make it much bigger and better than we ever imagined.
