Each year on Christmas Day, we throw open our doors and host a Christmas meal for older and disabled people in the area, who would otherwise be spending Christmas Day alone.

Guests arrive through the generosity of volunteer drivers and enjoy a hot Christmas meal, a drink or two, some fantastic entertainment, gifts, and a visit from Santa!

The day is entirely volunteer-led. For many volunteers, helping out here has become as much of a tradition in their families as stockings, carols and cold turkey sandwiches on Boxing Day.

We have been holding this Christmas Day event for over 40 years. We rely on donations to make this wonderful event happen each year; for every guest attending we need to fundraise £20. We hope you agree that this is a great and worthwhile cause, and if you are able to make a donation to support our Christmas Day project, then please do.

Please find below a FAQ document which should answer any queries you may have about Christmas Day.

If you are interested in volunteering on Christmas Day 2018, please see the Volunteer Info sheet below. We are particularly looking for volunteer drivers (to transport guests to and from Jacksons Lane) and cooks (to cook turkeys, potatoes and Christmas puddings).

If you've signed up to be a volunteer and you'd like more information about what to expect on the day, please email [email protected].
