SUMMARY:Chapters by Candlelight: Christmas Charity Read-In
DESCRIPTION:House of Books & Friends would like to invite you to Chapters by Candlelight\, our first charity ‘read-in’\, sponsored by gunnercooke. We will be fundraising for the charity Once Upon a Smile\, based in Greater Manchester. \nJoin us in a candle-lit bookshop for an evening of reading\, relaxing\, and supporting those in need. Get in the festive spirit with our offerings of mulled wine and minced pies. Enjoy performances from local poets\, learn about the incredible work of Once Upon a Smile\, and settle down for an hour of reading together; no screens\, no chatter\, no pressure from the outside world. Closing the night\, enjoy some festive songs from a local musician\, and letting the warm glow of the night carry you home. \nTickets are £5 each\, which goes straight to our chosen charity\, as well as any donations made throughout the night at our designated donation points. Tickets can be bought here. \nAbout the charity \nOnce Upon a Smile is a children’s bereavement charity providing practical and emotional support to bereaved families to enable them to adjust to a new life without their loved one.\nBased in Sidley House\, Trafford\, Greater Manchester. A dedicated children’s bereavement centre with ten dedicated support rooms\, designed by children of Once Upon a Smile\, these rooms include a chill out room\, baking room\, arts & craft room\, Lego room\, music room\, young person support room and a cinema/games room.
