Christmas is often a time for coming together, but for some it can also be a lonely time of the year.
Sheldon Road Methodist Church is once again hosting a free Christmas Day lunch, offering those who would otherwise spend the day alone, the chance to enjoy a traditional Christmas meal, good company and some festive cheer.
We are proud to be funding this event for the third consecutive year, through a three-year grant supporting this lovely community event.
Spending Christmas Day on your own?
If you’re spending Christmas Day alone, why not join Sheldon Road Methodist Church for a festive lunch?
There’ll be a traditional Christmas meal with all the trimmings and a warm welcome for everyone attending.
When: the meal will be served at 12.30pm on Christmas Day
Where: Sheldon Road Methodist Church, Audley Road, Chippenham, SN14 0DU
Cost: Free but booking is essential
Dietary requirements can also be catered for. To book your place, please contact Annette Foster. Email annettef3737@gmail.com or call 077172 10840.
Could you spare a few hours to volunteer?
Volunteers are also needed to help make the day a special occasion for everyone attending.
Whether it’s helping to prepare, serve food or make guests feel welcome, giving a little of your time could make a real difference to someone’s Christmas.
Volunteers are needed between 10.30am and 3pm, although you don’t have to commit for the whole time. Shorter shifts are available provided you can spare at least two hours. Christmas Lunch will also be provided for volunteers.
If you’d like to get involved, please contact: Annette Foster on annettef3737@gmail.com or by calling 077172 10840.
We’re proud to support projects that bring people together, tackle loneliness and improve the wellbeing of our community.
A huge thank you to the team at Sheldon Road Methodist Church and all the volunteers who give their time and energy helping to make this special event happen.
