The FCV annual Christmas party took place at the Vibast Centre again this year with entertainment supplied by the ever popular Steve Broughton. More than 60 people enjoyed a very delicious lunch and a great party. We were delighted that Her Worship, the Mayor of Islington, was able to attend and found time to speak to all the people attending.
Andrew Thompson took the opportunity to thank the 50 FCV volunteers who have provided over 16,500 hours of volunteering across a range of services in the last year.
“We come in all shapes and sizes, ages, background, nationality and ethnicities but we share a common desire to help our neighbours in the community,” he said.
Once again the party was supported by MUSI and Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, both parts of the MUFG (Mitsubishi) Group. They provided a small mountain of presents for the clients to take away with them, with surplus presents subsequently being distributed to clients unable to attend the event. It is a very generous contribution that makes it a very special Christmas for our clients. In addition, they also sent a lovely, enthusiastic and hardworking team of volunteers to the party. Many thanks indeed to everyone involved from MUFG.
