Fifteen restaurants combined to donate food to support Achievement House’s  annual Christmas party – which came with music from Cambridge Rotary’s Bruised Brothers.

Achievement House in Cambridge offers part-time employment and volunteer opportunities for those with disabilities. Occupational and social activities provided are enjoyed by people from Cambridge, Te Awamutu and Hamilton.

A total of 46 people attended this year’s Christmas festivities.

Manager Neil Fynn said the event, which has been organised by Cambridge Rotary for about 11 years, was always a highlight for those affiliated with Achievement House.

“They look forward to it every year.  It’s a great event and we’re very grateful for the generous support from the community,” he said.
