The Rehmat Sandhu Foundation is inviting the community to join its annual Christmas celebration at Hannah Watts Park on Sunday, December 9.

A full day of free festivities is planned from 10.30am to 3.30pm that will include a range of activities including face painting, music and balloon art, free food with a barbecue, fairy floss, ice cream and popcorn.

There will also be Christmas giveaways, a gift for all children who attend and a visit from Santa Claus.

The Rehmat Sandhu Foundation is a Melton-based charity that supports people across the west who are living with disability, struggling financially, experiencing domestic violence and much more.

Foundation founder Ravinder Kaur said the team has been working to make each Christmas celebration better than the last.

“The foundation likes to put on a Christmas celebration because they believe in working selflessly and giving back to the community,” she said.

“They understand the importance of spreading joy and happiness, especially during the holiday season.

“We are excited to see the smiles on the children’s faces and to create a magical and festive atmosphere for everyone involved.”

Ms Kaur extended a warm invitation to the Melton community to join in on the day.

“This event is not only for the children but for everyone in the community to come together and celebrate the joyous spirit of the holiday season,” she said.

“We have planned a range of activities and entertainment that will surely bring a smile to your face and create lasting memories.

“So, mark your calendars and join us for a day filled with fun, laughter, and festive cheer.”
