On Saturday, 14th December, the Steve Morgan Foundation brought festive cheer to the region by organising a magical visit to the Storyhouse Garret Theatre in Chester. The SMF team was joined by 250 children, their families and charity leaders from selected partner organisations for a special viewing of the Christmas play, Dear Santa.
After the performance, the children experienced more festive cheer with the opportunity to meet Santa in his grotto and receive a Christmas gift.
Storyhouse is an independent arts centre, creative hub, and charity, providing the perfect setting for this year’s Christmas event. Dear Santa, created by the author of the beloved children’s book Dear Zoo, tells the heartwarming story of Santa’s quest to deliver the perfect Christmas present to Sarah, with a little help from his mischievous Elf.
The festive theatre trip reflected the Foundation’s commitment to supporting families and creating memorable experiences for children in the community.
Liam Eaglestone, CEO of the Steve Morgan Foundation, said:
“Christmas is a time for bringing people together, and it means so much to the team at the Steve Morgan Foundation to be able to hold these events. We were thrilled to do something a bit different this year by bringing the children to the Storyhouse”.
One charity who attended the event shared their thoughts:
“This was such a magical day for our children. They loved the play, meeting Santa, and the wonderful gift they received. We are so grateful to the Steve Morgan Foundation for organising this experience.”
