BULLETINJanuary/February 2020 Christmas gifts on motorbikes! Bromley Mencap is very grateful to the Bromley Children and Families Voluntary Sector Forum for organising a fantastic collection of Christmas gifts and toys which our members and service users benefited from. It was a great day - the Widows Sons Masonic Bikers (West Kent) turned out on their amazing motorbikes, in full Christmas gear, at Anerley Town Hall on 14th December. The range of gifts was second to none and all were collected by the Masons or bought with funds they had raised. The Mayor of Bromley, Cllr Nicholas Bennett, said a few words and many organisations benefited from the gifts for their members and beneficiaries. Thank you all and Happy New Year! 1 What’s in this issue? Hi everyone, Welcome to our first Bulletin of 2020!
