This year the Dojo’s chosen Charity was The Salvation Army and their “Adopt a Family” Programme for Christmas….

The Salvation Army do an incredible amount of work and they are an amazing organisation….

Our Dojo Xmas Tree was flooded with Christmas Gifts from our many generous families who bought gifts for the 2 families adopted by the Dojo under the programme…

We hope that the many gifts will bring many smiles and festive season happiness to our 2 adopted families..

Wishing you much love and togetherness this Christmas….
