Fundraising Partnership -Create, Celebrate, And Give Back This Christmas At The Allendale Community Centre

Get into the festive spirit while supporting a good cause at the Christmas Wreath Making Workshops at the Allendale Community Centre, Wimborne, on Wednesday 26th November (2pm to 4pm) and Friday 28th November 2025 (6pm to 8pm).

Sponsored by Poole and Wimborne Woodland Burial Ground , the workshops will provide everything you need to design and take home a stunning, naturally sourced wreath. All materials, including fresh greenery, pinecones, berries, and a selection of festive decorations will be supplied, alongside expert tuition from burial ground consultant and qualified florist, Karen , who will be leading the sessions with her team.

"Poole & Wimborne woodland burial ground is more than just a resting place - it's a space that gives back to the community. With strong commitment to supporting local projects and initiatives, the burial ground is proud to sponsor the Christmas wreath making workshops at the Allendale Community Centre. By working with local groups and events, we aim to nurture connections, celebrate creativity, and bring people together in ways that honour both life and nature. Sponsorship of this festive event reflects their dedication to spreading joy during the Christmas season, while continuing to support families and individuals across the local area." Says Elisa Way, Burial Ground Manager.

Karen and her colleagues are passionate about sharing their skills and will guide participants step-by-step, while encouraging personal creativity to make each wreath unique. Workshops will last around two hours, and every participant will leave with a handmade wreath to enjoy throughout the Christmas festivities .

But these events are about more than creativity. Every £30.00 ticket sold will help fund local families and individuals in Wimborne who are in need through the Allendale Community Centre's Family Christmas Campaign . By joining in, you'll not only be crafting something special for your home but also spreading festive joy to those who need it most.

To make the experience even more enjoyable, your ticket includes a festive soft (non-alcoholic) drink and seasonal nibbles . The centre's bar will also be open, serving seasonal cocktails and other drinks to purchase to help the creative flow.

Tickets are limited to ensure a personal, hands-on experience – so early booking is essential.

Book your tickets on the theallendale site and help make Christmas brighter for our community!
