Central to the event is a fabulous festive dinner with gifts & entertainment. Help us make new memories on Christmas Day! Christmas Dinners for Care Leavers was set up in 2013 with the aim of no Care Leaver (aged 16-25) being alone on Christmas Day. The project is organised nationally by local volunteers supported by the Gold From The Stone Foundation,(www.goldfromthestone.org.uk) established by L
emn Sissay, OBE, broadcaster and author, who grew up in care. Many of the young people are living alone and have little or no family support so Christmas can often be isolating and distressful for them. The aim is to create a day to remember, to make new, joyful memories of Christmas, which they may not have experienced before. Central to the day is a fabulous Christmas dinner, and we will also be providing a delivery service of meals for those who choose to be at home. Everything - food, venue, entertainment, gifts will be of a high standard to reflect the value of the guests and we need your help to make this a success. It will be a community event and a chance to show Care Leavers that they are respected and add to their sense of belonging. If you would like to be involved please contact us at [email protected]
