The Oxford VSO support group had organised two Christmas events this week. On Thursday, some of us went to London for the VSO Candlelit Carol Concert at St. Martin in the Fields, and on Friday an even larger group of us enjoyed a get-together in Oxford with mulled wine, followed by the Pegasus Theatre Christmas "Panto" - What the Dickens.
A huge thank you to everyone who has supported me so far in my fundraising, including the Oxford VSO group. All volunteers are asked to raise at least £1500 towards the work of VSO. Thankfully this does not all have to be raised before leaving; volunteers can continue to fundraise while away and when they get back. If you would like to make a contribution, you can do so at my Just Giving page.
In November at the One World Fair in Oxford, visitors to our stand were enthralled by our quirky quiz: "Where in the World?", which involved matching fascinating items brought back by VSO volunteers from around the world with their country of origin. The lucky winners joined us for free at the Pegasus panto.
