Christmas is a magical time of year, but for some, particularly older people, Christmas can be a very lonely time of year.
Layla Howieson has started a Just Giving page with a target to raise £9,000 to put on a special Christmas celebration for 50 Wandsworth pensioners.
You can donate here.
The plan is to serve a hot Christmas dinner, enjoy some live entertainment, and meet with local people in the community.
In her own words, Layla explains why she’s raising £9k: “Putting on an event for 50 guests soon adds up, particularly once we include the hall, food, gifts and hampers. We will also need to provide food and refreshments for the volunteers and helpers giving their time on the day.”
The free event will be held on Thursday 17 December, from 12pm to 3pm, at Holy Trinity, Wandsworth, Beaumont Road, SW19 6SP.
