Nobody should celebrate Christmas alone.
Come along for a great festive day out with food, music, gifts, dancing, and the chance to meet residents who otherwise would be celebrating alone at H&F's Big Christmas Day Lunch.
This Christmas we're hoping to host up to 500 older or in need H&F residents and provide them with a FREE two-course Christmas meal and a day of festive cheer including entertainment from a live band, goodie bag, and free transport if needed.
To be eligible, you must be a H&F resident and either be aged 60 years and over, or referred by one of our services or charities.
Online applications close on Wednesday 10 December. Confirmations of your place, menu choice and any transport requests will be sent out week commencing 15 December.
