Story

On Christmas Day, we will once again be welcoming people to the Methodist Central Hall in Coventry for dinner. Many of the people who will attend will be homeless, vulnerable or alone and would like to sit down and enjoy their Christmas with others. All are welcome to join us.

The Christmas Day dinner event has been running in Coventry for over 30 years and we believe it to be one of the best attended in the country – but we need your donation to ensure it remains so. We are expecting up to 250 attendees, with each receiving a 3 course meal. We aim to try and give each person who attends a Christmas present but this depends on the donations we receive from the local community. We also pride ourselves on the quality of entertainment that’s provided during the event, with a wide variety of volunteers giving up their time to sing and play instruments.

Our priority with the donations is to ensure that we can provide the Christmas Day dinner and provide our guests with gifts. Once we are able to do this we will look to use the donations received to help provide essentials for people who are homeless through the winter.
