Christmas will soon be upon us and now is a good time to say thank you to everybody who has helped us over the past year by donating, volunteering, or in many other ways. In case you're wondering how you will survive the festive season intact (it can often prove stressful) we're providing a little distraction here in the form of our themed Christmas Crossword.
Yes that's right, a Crossword to avoid cross words! Why not give it a go. At the very least it will help pass a few minutes in that post turkey / vegetarian substitute Christmas Dinner slump. Plus there's two options - a straightforward set of clues, or, for the more daring, a challenging set of cryptic clues. The answers are the same regardless so you could even pick and mix your clues.
Whenever you're ready you can download our Christmas Crossword here. Please note that an earlier version of the crossword that was published here had an error, which has now been corrected. Apologies to anybody who tried to solve the original cryptic clue for 2 Across / 10 Down.
No peeking in advance, but when you've finished you can find the Christmas Crossword solution here.
We hope you enjoy our little present.
If you're feeling festive and would like to provide further support for the Gatehouse and our guests:
There's still time to donate a present for one of our guests (chocolates, biscuits, boxer shorts, socks or toiletries) in our Christmas Gift Appeal - closing deadline 19th December.
Plus our Winter Appeal asking for monetary donations to support our café and other drop-in services runs through to the end of February.
