\"\"For the first time since 2019, I am pleased to confirm that we will be running our Alone at Christmas event again this year, in what will be its 5th<\/sup> year. This will replace the hamper scheme that we have run for the last 2 years.<\/p>\n

For those of you that haven\u2019t heard of it before, basically, we invite anyone who will be on their own on Christmas Day to the Community Centre @ Christ Church for a 3 course meal. See our video on the activities page of our website – https:\/\/ccccswindon.co.uk\/page\/activities<\/a> -for the last one that happened<\/p>\n

The event itself runs from 12noon till approx. 3.30pm. As well as the lunch, the day includes Christmas quizzes, singing Carols and concludes with the Kings speech.<\/p>\n

This event takes a lot of co-ordinating and, if last years hamper numbers (150) are anything to go by, I anticipate that we will have a lot of lonely people to provide for this year.<\/p>\n

Therefore there are quite a few ways in which I need help. I detail all of the roles below (although I may miss something):<\/p>\n
