Christmas Alone 2008?

As in previous years we are planning to invite about 60 people, who would otherwise be on their own, for lunch on Christmas day at the Methodist Church Hall in Ashley Road. Our guests, who come from all over the town, really appreciate the opportunity to share this day with other people.

This is your opportunity to help in a practical way to enable this very special celebration to take place on Christmas Day. People who have helped in the past have always found it to be a rewarding and pleasurable experience. Not every one who has helped in the past is able to do so this year, so we are appealing for new volunteers either to help with preparations before the event or on the day itself. We need drivers to bring people here for about 12.00 noon and to take people home again at about 4.00 pm. We also need hosts and hostesses to sit down with guests at the tables and generally look after them during the afternoon.
