Don’t be alone at Christmas and join the People Care Christmas party. Every year the festive season can be a hard time for local residents who might be on their own on Christmas Day. Thanks to Southwark People Care Association who hosts a Christmas Party for them, they will also be part of the celebrations.

The volunteer-run charity has been holding the party since before WWII – helping to reduce loneliness and social isolation for countless people over the years. They provide with a good traditional Christmas Dinner and lots of great entertainment as part of the festivities. Those residents who might need transport will be able to use the door-to-door travel, to and from the venue, facilitated by the Association.

• Doors open from 11am on Christmas Day. There will be entertainment and tea so everyone can get in the festive mood
• Christmas dinner is served from 1pm plus entertainment will continue after the meal

The party is held in the large Sports Hall at Bacon’s College (scroll down for free guest transport and directions)

Vegetarian, Caribbean, Asian, diabetic or liquidised alternatives are available. They also provide a small glass of port, together with Stilton and biscuits to round off the meal.When leaving, everyone is offered a light tea in a take away box and a grocery voucher so they can choose something to have in the
