Care-leavers get into the festive spirit
The event is taking place today at the Derby Masonic Hall in Littleover, following the success of the firm's first at Ashfield House, in Ashby Road, on December 5, where more than 100 young people aged 16 and over were driven in from across the region.
The party featured a magician, musical entertainment, a visit from Santa and face painting, all provided by volunteers including members of the Derbyshire Freemasons and staff from the Swadlincote-based rail maintenance firm.
