Letter from Santa Campaign
by Lisa Taylor on November 15, 2011
JAK Print and Design have teamed up with NEAS and four other local children’s charities for the second year running, creating magical moments with Letters from Santa .
Each letter is personalised to every child and you have a choice of 5 formats to choose from. Each envelope is carefully designed to look authentic so when it lands on your mat we bring a little piece of the North Pole to your home. You can even order some special reindeer food for the children to spread on your garden on Christmas Eve to help Rudolph find his way to your house.

Community Services summer activities are proving to be a big hit with our families.
The holidays can be a difficult time for children and young people with autism. With the structured routine of the school day taken away, anxiety levels can increase and behaviour can be more challenging.
