For eleven-year-old Hamish Trotter, this year’s party meant more than ever. His mum, Sarah Judd explained: “The Scotty’s Christmas party does exactly what it says on the tin, helping us smile! We’ve had a rough time recently, and until last week Hamish didn’t want to do Christmas. He didn’t want presents, he wasn’t going to write a Christmas list and he wasn’t bothered whether we came to the party or not. But we laughed so much in the car and at the party.”
