Carole Damper’s retirement Tea

Roberts Centre staff met for tea and cake to say a sad farewell to our CEO, Carole Damper, MBE. Staff, volunteers and all the families at the Roberts Centre wish you a happy and well-deserved retirement. Thank you for all you have done over the last 27 years!

Family Friends 2023

Family Friends was the idea of a supporter who said; ‘Having little money to live on means always worrying about how to make it last. Imagine how hard it will feel when you have children and Christmas is coming up. Seeing all the shops full of things you can’t afford must make you feel an outsider.

“We asked the Roberts Centre to suggest a family and we were given basic details (first names and ages of children and their likes) . We then bought them Christmas presents, and of course new pyjamas as well as Christmas food for the whole family.

Last year we thought it would be good to give them a bit of breathing space in January so we bought groceries, soap powder, washing up liquid, toiletries- the stuff we throw into our shopping trolley without a second thought. Everything we give comes from ‘Father Christmas”.
