Christmas Lunch in Richmond
Each Christmas a group of local individuals and charities pool their time, resources and energy to provide lunch on Christmas Day for people who are Homeless, Lonely, or Just By Themselves.
Provided will be a full Christmas 3 course meal inculding Turkey, Christmas Pudding, pigs in blankets, candles, Christmas crackers, gifts and decorations etc.
People may just wish to walk in, but we will also use cars and minibuses to transport people to the venue.
In past years it has been a wonderful event with a lovely family atmosphere.
Would you like to be a Guest or a Helper or if you know someone who would please contact either Keith Hall - 850961, Stuart Parsons - 823456 or Linda Curran - 824626.
Supported by Kings Church Richmondshire, Richmond Town Council and Carricks
Thanks to Gillian Lunn for alerting me to this.

Stuart Parson said they had a large turnout of guests (aged between 5 and late 90's) and a huge number of enthusiastic volunteers, including a now very soft and clean-handed 16 year old young man who stood and washed up for three hours solid! Thank you so much for writing about it for us and to all who took part in any way. An annual event, so there is always next year if anyone wishes to take part in any way.
