The Secret Sorting Office Father Christmas is back this year at a new secret location in the heart of Whaley Bridge in the Peak District.

Experience a truly unique meeting, you will be transported to another world, surrounded by trinkets, curiosities and feelings of nostalgia.

This wonderful video from Shelter got us thinking about the power of words! The Secret Sorting Office doesn't talk about 🎅 naughty and nice lists 🎅 or good and bad children because we know that every persons circumstance is different.

Small acts of kindness could easily come in the form of just being considered in the words we choose to use, taking a beat to check our own unconscious bias', perceptions, experiences and the assumptions we make. Even though our intent is from a good place, sometimes we don't realise the impact our words can leave behind.

Thanks Shelter for a thought- provoking and impactful video!

Hello everyone, it is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we are announcing that the experience of The Secret Sorting Office won't be returning.

We both have children who are at the age where the special 'believe years' are nearly over. Running this event brings us so much joy and keeps the magic so real for our own inner child, and hopefully, to you all - but it keeps us away from our own children at the most magical and precious time of year. We have tried lots of different ways to manage this - but at this stage the personal sacrifice is too great!

🌈Kindness, understanding and inclusivity🌈 have always been at the heart of everything we do at The Secret Sorting Office. We believe these are the values that our children will hold strong to make our communities, and the world, a better place.

⭐️ These values are so important that we will be working on other ways for these messages from The Secret Sorting office to be told in the near future. We will continue to communicate through this page.⭐️

We have absolutely loved sharing this journey with you all. There has been tears of joy, true human connection and love in all the visits and sessions.

Thank you for all of your support and kind words over the years.

🎄 CHRISTMAS SALE 🎄

We do have some Christmas decorations and gifts left from our pop up shop which we will be posting on here over the next few weeks at heavily discounted prices.

Father Christmas has also left us with some compasses and other bits for those children who may have lost theirs from last year or for any new siblings who would like to have their very own keepsake. So please get in touch if you would like us to get one to you.

We wish you all a wonderful Christmas 2023!!

All the children that visited Father Christmas yesterday were given one of these envelopes from our tree.

Inside on a card- they were asked to write down what Christmas means to them, then to seal the envelope and gift it to someone to spread Christmas joy.

We give ours to all the wonderful people and organisations that came together yesterday to support families of the High Peak. Here goes:

🎄 Rock Mill Centre
🎄 Wiseheart & Wild (Kate and Annie - the gorgeous photos are Annie's talents!)
🎄High Peak Toy Bank Appeal
🎄New Mills Youth and Community Project CIC
🎄Everyone who visited and/or made donations

On Christmas Eve, Father Christmas cannot wait to see the cards in the homes of all those you love or are thinking about this Christmas!

HOW TO FIND US -
The Rock Mill Centre is in the old Heritage Information building behind the bus station in New Mills and opposite the Millennium Bridge.

TIMINGS -
Sunday 18th Dec, 10-3pm

We are spending the day collecting new 'unwrapped' gifts for children and teens across the High Peak on behalf of The High Peak Toy Bank Appeal.

To help us with such an important cause, Father Christmas will be at the centre to meet and greet the children. Don't worry if you can't donate this year, all children that pop down will be able to have a chat with him.

Please note, this isn't a full Secret Sorting Office experience, it is an opportunity for us to continue to support the Toy Bank. Whilst we will have a tree up and try and look as festive as we can please don't expect to see The Sorting Office, It's hidden very well this year..even we don't know where! 🎄

🎅🎅 SUNDAY 18TH DECEMBER 🎅🎅

On Sunday 18th December in New Mills from 10am - 3pm we will be collecting new wrapped toy donations for the High Peak Toy Bank Appeal.

This year's donations have been understandably lower than our previous years and we really want to encourage you if you can to drop off a present for children of High Peak, however small.

We have a little help from our dear and wonderful Father Christmas. We couldn't keep him away from the High Peak this year! And he is very excited to meet and greet the children and receive the gift donations.

He will also be delighted to recieve childrens Christmas letters or drawings for those who haven't already sent theirs via 'smoke post' up the chimney or airmail.

Please note - this is a drop in set up inorder to collect gifts for The Toy Bank. It isn't a Sorting Office experience as per previous years. We will be back next year with our Secret Sorting Office experience.

Hello everyone!! Please keep your eyes peeled on the page here over next few days to find out more about our High Peak Toy Bank Appeal weekend!!

WE NEED YOUR HELP- The number of donations to the Toy Bank have been much lower this year as everyone is feeling the pinch! But there are so many more families in need of a bit of extra help this Xmas.

Our gift collection weekend will be taking place in New Mills this year on Sunday 18th December and we are hoping to have a very special guest make a visit to help us receive the gift donations. 🎅

Pop the date in the diary and keep an eye on the page, and we will share more details later in the week.
