A Harrogate charity is raising a smile with a humorous 2020 take on the 12 Days of Christmas.
Time Together, which supports people with additional needs, has continued its one-to-one support for clients throughout the pandemic.
But its social activities have either moved online or been called off - so staff, volunteers and clients decided to use technology to come together one final time before Christmas.
The lyrics - written by service manager Louise Terzza - make fun references to things which have marked everyone's years, from social distancing to the hazards of meeting online. Louise said:
While one-to-one support for clients has continued, the charity's fundraising came to a standstill in March and has barely restarted. Louise said:
In an effort to bring in some final funds before the end of the year, the charity's Christmas raffle has been moved online and is proving popular. Prizes including a skincare hamper, vouchers for afternoon tea, goodies from Fodder and a Fitbit are on offer, with tickets being sold online until midnight on Saturday, December 19.
