A Christmas Celebration of Impact, Gratitude, and Joy Across Our Programs 🎄✨

On December 13, 2025, WeBridge Community Services hosted a vibrant End-of-Year Christmas Celebration bringing together participants from our Little Elites Program, Parenting Program, Youth Program, alongside our dedicated volunteers and staff. Held around 1:00 PM, the event was a joyful reflection on the year’s impact and a celebration of the strong community we continue to build together.

As guests arrived, the atmosphere was immediately set with uplifting music from the LEA Music Team, creating a warm and welcoming space for greetings, conversations, and photo moments. Smiles, laughter, and shared excitement filled the room as people connected across programs and generations.

The program officially opened with welcome and opening remarks from our Executive Founder, Massah Tarawalley, who reflected on the journey of the past year and the collective effort that made the success of our programs possible. This was followed by a thoughtful gratitude icebreaker, where attendees were invited to share what they were most thankful for in the year. The responses were insightful and heartfelt, offering moments of reflection, encouragement, and appreciation for growth, resilience, and community.

Each program facilitator was then given the opportunity to highlight their program, sharing how it serves specific demographics across London and Middlesex County. Representatives and participants from the various programs also spoke, offering personal reflections on how the programs have positively impacted their lives and expressing excitement for upcoming activities and sessions.

The celebration continued with an energetic live band Christmas music session, generously supported by Music is Good, where attendees sang along to beloved Christmas classics, danced freely, and enjoyed the festive spirit together. The live music created an atmosphere of joy, nostalgia, and togetherness that resonated throughout the room.

Following the music session, guests enjoyed lunch, taking time to connect over delicious meals and meaningful conversations. The afternoon then transitioned into fun and friendly competition with interactive cup games, where winners were awarded gifts—sparking laughter, excitement, and enthusiastic participation from all ages.

One of the most heartfelt moments of the event was the presentation of gifts to our hardworking staff and volunteers, in recognition of their dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment throughout the year. The program concluded with closing remarks from our Executive Founder, expressing sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed to making the year impactful and successful.

The celebration ended just as joyfully as it began—with more music, dancing, laughter, and photos, leaving everyone feeling appreciated, connected, and energized for the year ahead.

We extend our sincere thanks to Music is Good for supporting the live band performances, and to the United Way team, London Community Foundation, and TD Bank for their continued support. Your contributions help make these programs and moments of connection possible, strengthening families and communities across our region.
