Story
We are fundraising to enable us to hold a Christmas to remember for people of any age that are socially isolated and / or in poverty.
We are able to cater for 80 people.
The day will include a 3 course lunch, mince pies and hot drinks, games, bingo, a present(s), from Santa, dinner place raffle, entertainment, singing....a quiet room will also be available.
Tables will be set with up to 10 places, to encourage conversation and a more familiar feel.
Transport will be provided to and from the event.
We are two families that have joined together to organise and provide this event and rejoice in a true Christmas. A mixture of young and old, and the opportunity for new friendships.
Everyone involved is doing this on a voluntary basis.
Throughout the year we are holding various events to raise money such as soup n sweets, a disco, bingo and a live band night.
It is hoped that this will be an annual event every Christmas.
People will be nominated or referred and will enjoy the day for free.
Those able will also be enabled to participate in the events such as regular soup and sweet lunches throughout the year and therefore looking at reducing isolation, making friends, and having purposeful inclusion.
Please help fund this event, buy a dinner for somebody who would otherwise be alone. Your help is so much appreciated, Thank you.
If we are able to raise enough we will also be able to include nominees at the lunches and other events planned throughout the year, which will also greatly reduce their feeling of isolation.

Last Christmas a friend got talking about how Christmas was not like it used to be and now so commercial and so expensive. We decided to do something about it with the help of our teenage children. We are fundraising to provide a Christmas day for those isolated,alone in poverty.
