This morning was all about the true meaning of Christmas, as the kids and I, along with my colleague, Tracey Bateman, and many others, helped organise the super generous toy donations and serve up 1,000 Christmas dinners for the #LutonSmiles campaign. Luton Point has supported this campaign for the last few years collecting toys and fundraising for food. 🎁🎅 There was a wonderful atmosphere as adults and children came together at #ChilternAcademy, getting everything ready for the teachers who would deliver these to families in need this afternoon, helping to put smiles on many children's faces this Christmas. It was a meticulously planned, military operation! I think Max in particular was surprised by how much he enjoyed it (aged 12 = thinks he's too cool for this sort of thing 🙄) - to the point he and his sister asked for it to become their annual Christmas Eve tradition. Plus Sophia is super excited at the prospect of potentially appearing on Anglia News this evening after they interviewed her this morning 🤩 Thanks to everyone who has supported this brilliant campaign and also to Luton Foodbank for giving the children and I this cherished opportunity. Merry Christmas everyone - may this Christmas bring you peace, love and hope 🎅🎄❤ #community #Christmas #volunteering #LoveLuton

We recently launched a new episode of our Luton Life podcast, about the annual #TooManyNames service for Luton, which was held here in the centre at the end of last month and #16DaysOfActivism. Between September 2023 and October 2024, 119 women were killed by men across the UK - Luton Point joins other local organisations in taking a stand against gender based violence. Link to our powerful short video and the podcast below 👇 https://lnkd.in/eYEkwYMe Big thank you to the local organisations working tirelessly all year round to combat this issue and who provide a lifleine for so many women and girls in our community: Bedfordshire Domestic Abuse Partnership, Women's Aid in Luton, LUTON ALL WOMEN CENTRE, Luton Borough Council, Bedfordshire Police and so many others. And thanks to Sophie Sulehria and Key Lime PR & Marketing for working with us to create such a powerful podcast episode. ** Trigger warning: This podcast contains details of violence that some listeners may find distressing ** #GenderBasedViolence #community #podcast Roy Greening Lavinia Douglass Abbie White Laura McCluskey Claudia Mattocks Alex Nicolas CBRE UK Hannah Duckenfield

🎅 Luton Point Christmas Jumper Day 2024 🎄 Despite being a super busy time of year the team were rocking their Christmas jumpers today for our annual #ChristmasJumperDay. From the slightly naughty (Alex 😲) to the Grinchiest (Abbie) and the tenant support (Roy) the jumper game was strong, and funds were raised for #charity. Despite leaving the office early I still managed to bomb the photo at our 3pm meeting 📷 Looking forward to some serious present thieving when we play Bad Santa next week 🎁🎅 oh and more Christmas events and store openings/shop fits in the coming weeks! #LoveThisTeam #team #charity #Christmas #retail
