“It was wonderful to see the families having such fun and they all said what a great event it was” – The Treehouse party proves a memorable way to start the year

Families started the new year with a bang after enjoying an afternoon of fun, games and dancing.

The party was organised by East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) and took place at Grundisburgh Village Hall.

It was for children, young people and families receiving care and support at The Treehouse, in Ipswich.

“The party was a massive success and everyone had such a fun and memorable time together, meeting other families,” said EACH Groups and Events Coordinator Lucy Hynes.

“It was wonderful to see everyone having such fun and they all said what a great event it was.

“Our staff and volunteers enjoyed it, too, and got involved throughout. I loved seeing everyone up on the dancefloor together.”

Eighteen families attended, with music, games and entertainment provided by DJ Hamster and The Clown Doctors.

There was also a delicious spread of food for everyone to enjoy.

The party took place on Saturday afternoon (13th January).
