One Day at Christmas (ODAC), Mash Media’s charitable event for elderly people, took place on 13 December, 2019.
Set at the NEC in Birmingham, ODAC saw people from all over the event industry come together to provide a festive treat for those at local care homes. Over 450 elderly attended, and around 35 volunteers helped out.
Those that attended the event enjoyed a Christmas lunch along with other festive treats, including entertainment and dancing.
Event organiser, Dan Edwards, said: ““This year’s One Day at Christmas was absolutely brilliant! It was our biggest ever, with 455 attendees from the local area coming to the NEC.
“ODAC is all about bringing together people who may otherwise be lonely, at this time of year when no one should be on their own. Those attending enjoyed great food, entertainment and good company – exactly what we set out to achieve. We couldn’t have done it without the industry’s support and donations – not only of money, but wine, prizes, and time.
“I can’t thank enough the contributors to this event, the feedback has been amazing, and they are already asking when we’ll be back next year. Thanks, and Merry Christmas!”
Exhibition News would like to say a huge thank you on the behalf of all those at Mash Media to those that sponsored and/or took part in the event. Your help and dontations were invaluable, and very much appreciated.
