Festive Fun at Zest X-Change!

05 December 2023

Christmas came early to Zest on Tuesday 5th December, as the Zest young adults enjoyed a range of Christmas based fun as part of the Zest X-Change Christmas party.

The evening saw the young adults dance along to their favourite festive songs with a Christmas disco, provided by Yox Rocks Roadshow, while wearing a range of Christmas jumpers and outfits.

This was followed by a number of Yuletide themed games and activities, including a special Christmas story edition of ‘pass the parcel’ which saw all the young adults receive an early Christmas gift.

Caroline Corker, activities coordinator at Zest, said: “What an absolutely wonderful evening. Everybody loved the disco and brought such energy and enthusiasm to the dancefloor.

“Thank you to Yox Rocks Roadshow for their fantastic disco and thank you to all the volunteers, carers for making this evening, but most importantly a big thank you to all the young adults for bring such life to the festive atmosphere this evening.”

Part of the St Elizabeth Hospice Group, since 2015, Zest has provided specialist medical and social support services to young adults, aged 14 and upwards, living with progressive and life-limiting illnesses, while also ensuring the smooth transition from children’s hospice into adult care.

Held on the first Tuesday of every month, between 4.30pm-7.30pm, Zest X-Change is Zest’s young adult social group.

Zest X-Change offers a place for young people to meet, engage in inclusive activities and share experiences. It is available for young adults aged 14 upwards to support the transition from children’s services.
