Free Christmas Dinner

Neil Penny of Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group writes

Dear all, 

During a recent meeting with a representative from the Cedar Trust, Natalie Bonner, she mentioned an offer she has made in previous years linked to the Bisto Spare Chair Sunday initiative. Here is the link.

Natalie said she is offering a free Christmas Dinner to any older person who will otherwise be eating their lunch on Christmas Day on their own. This seems a great offer for people who are potentially facing Christmas Day on their own to have a nutritious meal and some company with people of a similar age. She has offered this in previous years but had no response.


I am sure there must be people you come across in the village who may be interested in this. The nearest Cedar Trust homes to Maisemore are Redlands Acre Care Home, 35 Tewkesbury Road, Gloucester GL2 9BD Telephone: 01452 507248 and The Grange Nursing & Care Home, Grange Rd, Northway, Tewkesbury GL20 8HZ Telephone: 01684 850111.

If you think there are people who would benefit from this and would like to take up the offer, or if you have any further questions, please contact Natalie at Natalie.bonner@cedartrust.co.uk.

Thanks and Regards

Neil
