CHRISTMAS ‘23

What an amazing afternoon Christmas Warm Welcome proved to be.  We had 18 attendees and fed 21 altogether.

The majority of volunteers came to help out.  Some set up the room and filled the goodie bags.  Others cooked and poor Lorraine was chained to the sink!!

Those attending had the full Christmas lunch (turkey, potatoes, carrots, broccoli, sprouts, gravy, stuffing, pigs in blankets and cranberry sauce) followed by trifle, mince pies and yule log.  We had soft drinks as well as brews.

Each attendee got a bag of goodies (toiletries and chocolates).  We had a very generous anonymous donation which enabled us to buy Aldi vouchers for participants to spend on food or treats over the Christmas period.

We are pleased that we have been awarded National Lottery Community Funding for our Warm Welcome which will enable us to continue to offer our services for 2024.  Warm Welcome is building into quite a community offering a haven to people who want a hot meal and a chat.

Warm Welcome will reopen on Wednesday 3rd January 2024 between 12.00 and 2.00 p.m.

Anyone wishing to volunteer to help at Warm Welcome would be very welcome.  Please contact the office or email sjhn.morecambe@lrcd.org.uk
