<div>Celebrating 10 Years of Community Christmas Dinners
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This Christmas marks 10 years of Bay Tree Cookery Academy CIC bringing people together on Christmas Day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the past decade, in collaboration with our amazing partner organisations, volunteers and supporters, we have hosted a free Community Christmas Dinner for people across Merseyside.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What started as a small act of kindness has grown into a cherished community tradition, providing hundreds of people with a delicious Christmas dinner, soft drinks, entertainment, presents, food hampers and, most importantly, friendship and companionship on a day that can be incredibly difficult for many.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every smile, every shared meal and every conversation has been made possible through the generosity of our local community. As we celebrate this special 10-year milestone, we're asking for your support to help make this year's Community Christmas Dinner our most memorable yet.

<div>This years Christmas Day Dinner will be help in the iconic Isle of Gladstone located in Stanley Park Liverpool.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To launch this year's fundraising campaign, I'll be taking on one of my biggest personal challenges yet by swimming the Tri4Life Across Mersey Swim on 1st August 2026.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Setting off at high water from Cockle Inlet, Liverpool, I'll swim across the River Mersey before finishing at Monks Ferry, Alabama Way, Birkenhead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And then… my very first Ultra Marathon! ‍♀️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And here’s the crazy part… I’ve never even done a marathon!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Next challenge: The Winter Wirral Ultra ❄️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A 36-mile road and trail course, with up to 12 hours to complete it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From running my first few miles to now taking on 36 miles… I honestly can’t quite believe how far I’ve come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s going to be tough, it’s going to hurt, there will probably be a few moments when I question my life choices — but I’m ready for the challenge.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>36 miles. 12 hours. One very determined woman. ❤️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year marks 10 years of Bay Tree Cookery Academy CIC providing a free Community Christmas Dinner, and I'm asking you to help us make this milestone year our biggest and best yet.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you'd like to support my swim plus ultra and help make Christmas special for hundreds of people across our community, please consider making a donation or starting your own fundraiser. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a real difference.
