Eat drink and make a difference
Combine the seasonal love of good food and drink with the desire to support those affected by mental illness by celebrating Christmas as part of our National Festive Feast 2007 on Saturday, 8 December. Charge a ticket price, hold a present raffle, or include a few games - it doesn't matter how you raise the money but every penny will help a great cause.
