Happy Christmas Sandgate from Tim
I've been blown away by our community in 2020. Families shopping for neighbours, people volunteering at Community Hubs, collecting for charity, bringing a little light into people's life. Local businesses that have adapted so fast to find new ways to survive and serve.
