Christmas Tree Festival 2023
In November 2023 we had fun at The Exchange Blackburn setting up our tree from the 1860's ready for their Christmas Tree Festival.
During the Victorian era, people crafted paper decorations for their trees. Upon closer inspection, you'll notice that our paper decorations are made from maps, serving as a symbolic representation of the journeys the individuals we support have undertaken.
