Mince Pies

The Foundation and Bensham Grove Community Centre with Royal Literary Fund created a fabulous evening of recipe following, mince pie making and gentle laughter!

We ended with beautiful Chrismas poems and Abu even showed us a poem he wrote for him and his daughter.

"Gateshead Football Club Foundation have supported so many of the groups I belong to. Nothing is a bother. The team are always there if you need to talk and they will try to help with a sense of humour, lots of compassion and unfailing professionalism What would Gareshead do without them? ."
