In support of the Kirkwood Hospice Appeal, they organized a lively 1940s street party that transported everyone back in time. The atmosphere was filled with nostalgia and camaraderie as people donned period costumes and waved flags adorned with patriotic pride. The Huddersfield Youth Brass Ensemble set the mood by serenading the crowd with enchanting Glenn Miller music, evoking memories of an era defined by resilience and unity. Trestle tables were beautifully arranged for tea service, offering a taste of traditional British hospitality. Excitement buzzed through the air as attendees eagerly participated in tombolas and raffles, knowing that their contributions would make a difference for those in need.
