The places in Greater Manchester offering a free hot meal for those in need this Christmas
While it may be the most wonderful time of the year for some of us, others this Christmas will be struggling with the cost of living, facing lonliness or even finding themselves without a roof over their head. With bills soaring, more people than ever are having to decide between heating their home and putting food on the table over the festive season.
There will also be a local delivery service to the elderly and to care homes on Christmas Day. In addition there will be a delivery service available to individuals and families on Saturday, December 24. Lifeshare will be serving three meals a day as part of its week-long Christmas Project between December 23 and 29. Based at the New Victoria Development, next to Victoria Station, the charity will be welcoming anyone in need of a warm place to spend the day, a hot shower, dry clothes, a fresh meal, or a friendly face.
