Christmas lunches at CafeLife

Our Christmas lunches this year featured a full turkey lunch with all the trimmings (vegetarian option was available) as well as traditional Christmas Pudding and Custard.

We could not have done it without the amazing volunteers from Leonardo. Volunteers worked tirelessly to set up the café, arrange tables, take orders and serve food as well as tidy away at the end.

We were also lucky to have a visit from Mark Stead, Vice President for Leonardo in the UK. Leonardo have chosen LifeCare as their charity partnership and have supported us to release our beautiful Christmas Cards drawn by our Clients, as well as provide hard working volunteers.

We also received a visit from Lewis Melee from The Hibernian Community Foundation. The Foundation are working hard to provide older people, including some of our clients, Christmas dinner delivered on the 25th. 

Thank you to Sing for Smiles and Colonies Choir for taking the time to perform at our Lunches. Singing was enjoyed after a tasty lunch.

Carol singing was not the only treat instore, attendees also enjoyed taking part in a group quiz as well as a tombola. Prizes for the quiz and tombola were kindly donated by Aldi, Cameron Toll. The quiz and tombola raised funds which allow us to continue our Winter Warmer Campaign. To find out more about how your gift can help older people this Winter click here.

Last, but not least, we had an exciting visit from Indigo at STV News to do a feature on LifeCare and the Christmas Lunches. Click here to watch. Airing on the 22nd at 6pm, and available online for 24 hours.

Thank you to everybody who attended the Christmas lunches, and those who made the day so fabulous. LifeCare wishes everybody a happy and healthy Christmas and New Year.
