Warmer Together - The Big Lunch

The pandemic means that hundreds of local older people are unable to enjoy H&F Council’s usual Christmas Day gathering. This year, even more people will be spending 25 December alone, due to it being unsafe to see family or friends, as a result of another group activity being cancelled, or because of the devastating loss of loved ones.

We’re working with H&F Council enable a safely cooked and delivered Christmas lunches along with gift bags to at least 400 lonely or isolated older people in the borough on Christmas Day. This is a huge operation which we call on the community to help make happen.

We need £16,000 in total. Anything above this is still very much needed for lunches and other services for older people (65+) throughout the winter.

This is one of the many ways in which we and other partners are supporting the community through the winter months. We want to ensure that everyone is included and supported, and that nobody is left out.
