A Glastonbury firm is swapping mops for mince pies this December as it opens its doors to struggling families for a free festive evening packed with cheer.

Sleek Easy Clean will welcome visitors to its HQ on Friday 12 December from 4pm to 7pm, promising hot chocolate, laughter, and a visit from Santa himself — complete with presents for children who might otherwise go without.

Bosses at the firm say they've been "truly touched" by the families they work with who are finding life tough — and now they're determined to give back.

"There's nothing more important than kindness," founder Laura Summers said. "Every child deserves a gift under the tree and every family deserves to feel the magic of Christmas."

The company already has a mountain of toys ready to go—but they're calling on local people and businesses to chip in with more. Every extra donation means another smile on another child's face.

And it's not just for those in Glastonbury. Families from Street, Wells and beyond are warmly invited, with no postcode checks or red tape—just festive spirit and open arms.

If you know someone who could use a bit of Christmas magic, spread the word. And if you can donate a gift, Sleek Easy Clean wants to hear from you.

Together, they say, "we can make spirits bright".
