The event will start at 11.30am with hot chocolate and mince pies, before a Christmas sing-a-long and the meal.

Volunteers can help offer transport to bring guests to the venue and return them home at the end of the day when the event finishes at 3.30pm.

Organiser Janice Roberts said: “Our Christmas day is for anyone who is spending this special day on their own and would like some company, a single parent and child, there is no age limit!”

She asked for residents to spread word of the event among their neighbours.

The lunch will cater for up to 70 guests.
