Our aim to reduce loneliness and isolation in local communities last year was definitely achieved, with our Christmas Canteens being a huge success. Our Christmas Canteens brought together members of the community who would otherwise be spending their Christmas period alone feeling isolated, so that they could share their Christmasses with others.
Not only did the project bring people together for socialising, but also to enjoy a delicious Christmas meal which we provided for them. Our fantastic volunteers helped to prepare the food and loved taking part in a fun way to give back to their community. We also organised activities and games for guests and volunteers to take part in too, which spread more Christmas spirit.
We want to thank you for your support and donations, thanks to you we were able to provide our guests with a joyful Christmas that they wouldn't have had otherwise, and we know that they are extremely grateful. We're already looking forward to next Christmas!
