THE Southern Domestic Abuse Service annual Christmas party attracted more than 70 adults and children to the Alton Maltings Centre for a festive celebration with fun and games.

The children loved meeting Father Christmas and whole families got involved in dancing along with entertainer Tony Spaghetti in the event supported by local churches and Alton Round Table.

Southern Domestic Abuse Service staff have expressed a "big thank you" to all those involved in helping to stage the event, including Alton mayor Derek Gardner, the Maltings Centre, the Round Table and the churches, who kindly donated selection boxes to each of the children who attended.
