Children’s Services at Lisburn Primary and Community Care Centre got into the Christmas spirit with the return of their annual Christmas Door Competition. This year marks a significant milestone as we celebrate the competition in a new building.
The Christmas Door Competition has become a cherished tradition within the Child Health Service, transforming the clinical atmosphere into a colourful, exciting festive wonderland. The initiative aims to alleviate any anxieties children may experience when attending appointments, instead the environment becomes a source of joy and comfort during the holiday season.
The competition not only enhances the Christmas holiday spirit, it also serves as a fundraising opportunity for charity. This year over £200 was raised – and counting for UK based Dreamflight charity which takes children with a serious illness or disability on their holiday of a lifetime to Orlando.
Judging the array of colourful doors, Trust Chairman, Jonathan Patton said, “I am delighted to judge the wonderful display on each of the doors here in Lisburn Primary and Community Care Centre. The competition helps create a warm and inviting atmosphere for the children attending appointments. It’s not just about decorating doors, it’s about creating a memorable experience that becomes a source of joy and comfort during the holiday season.”
