Manchester Charity Christmas Dinner Prep 2024
Provide a welcoming space for recent care leavers over Christmas
Location

Date and time
10:00 - 12:00Since 2013, Christmas Dinners have been hosted by the Gold from the Stone Foundation to provide a safe space and sense of community for recent care leavers, who may otherwise not have a place to go for the festive period. They also get a cracking blanket from Quilts for care leavers. There is a video from 2023 of the event. Last year we had a couple of helpers for the set-up and I'm in contact to help out again.
The dinner itself takes place on Christmas Day, with the option to host a care leaver or to help out on the day. There is also the option to help out with preparation on Sunday 22nd December, 10:00-14:00 with most activity being before midday with the possibility of snacks and refreshments while helping, so stay for as long as you can.

Anything else that needs doing
On the day of the meal, each of the Guests gets a Christmas Day sack of gifts, made up of one signature present, plus some winter woollies, smellies, and stocking fillers. This is what we will be wrapping on 22nd December. If you wish to donate this is here or there is a gift list too

Hey guys, was hoping for this to be my first Manchester session but unfortunately they've replied saying they have enough people and I'm not needed. Maybe in the new year
Yep just seen the email. I'll respond and see whether we can help out another way, either on 28th December or another. I'll confirm in due course. Thanks for signing up anyway and hopefully see you another time!
