They are offering 10 places to the older people in the local community to celebrate and enjoy the company of others while tucking into a traditional Christmas lunch and participating in festive activities.

The invitation is for those older people who may not have any family to visit during the festive season. They are being invited to join residents for lunch and fun activities at the home including a chance to sing along to Christmas carols.
