Advent calendar day one - Actionnaires at Christmas
Our Actionnaires clubs allow visually impaired children to take part in sport, make friends, keep fit and have fun. The clubs offer a supportive environment where children are able to develop their social skills and confidence and learn to believe in their own abilities.
We asked some of the children at our Actionnaires clubs what Christmas means to them.

Figgy bacon wraps
Spread some fresh figs with a little Dijon mustard and wrap in rashers of streaky bacon. Secure with cocktail sticks. Season with pepper and bake alongside your roast turkey for the last 25 minutes of cooking.
