Thank you for a joyous end to 2025
With your help, we served over 1 500 Durban elders with a magnificent Christmas meal over the festive season at our various residences and wellness centres.
Support from the people of Durban was overwhelming; we really cannot thank you enough for ‘coming to the party’ with generous sponsorship to ensure that no one was left out.
Your contributions ensured a three-course traditional meal for every guest. But what you gave was so much more than just a good meal. You gave elders the opportunity to dress up, enjoy companionship and laughter, music, entertainment and dancing as they celebrated the completion of the 2025 year!
The annual festivities were a reminder that life is worth living, and that every shared moment holds promise for joy, growth and dignity.
“A big heartfelt thank you to all of the contributors and to the Robin Hood Foundation for turning this day into an event we residents look forward to. Much love and gratitude” – Sonitha Ismail
“Thank you very much for an awesome Christmas lunch. May God richly bless you!” – Patsy Kettle
“Thank you for the lovely Christmas lunch, it was an awesome day!” – Gloria Alexander
The positive feedback was priceless. And, we could never have done it without your help. Thank you for the joy you gave.
May you be richly blessed for your kindness, and may the remainder of 2026 bring you peace, prosperity and love in abundance.
