Get your orders in for the Tocumwal Lions Community Hostel Christmas Pudding Fundraiser.
These puddings are traditional and crafted with much love and care and orders can be made by contacting the hostel via email to tracey.morrison@tochostel.com.au or phone (03) 5874 3650.
All proceeds will go towards specialised equipment for the hostel residents such as virtual reality headsets that allow the residents to expand their world and help them stay connected, active and happy.
VR can help reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness, keep the mind active and can be used for physical therapy such as pain management, and mental health therapy.
It can also help residents relive cherished memories, which can be beneficial for residents with dementia or memory loss.
The puddings are priced at $29.99 per kg.
They do have nuts in them but can be requested to have no nuts when ordering.
Payment can be made with cash or via EFTPOS on collection from the hostel. Collection will be the week of December 16.

Tocumwal swimming pool urgently requires people to volunteer their time in the kiosk at the pool for the upcoming season for shifts of 2.5 hours.
Unfortunately, the pool won't be able to open if there are not volunteers to man it.
If you’re able to help, please contact Anne on 0428 128 363.
The pool is due to open for the season on Saturday, November 9 where the committee will have their usual $20 discount on their family season’s passes ($170) and $10 on single passes ($90) if paid on opening week.
