Here at H&F Giving and Hammersmith and Fulham Council, we believe that no one should be alone this Christmas. 

That’s why on Christmas Day, we will be hosting our annual H&F’s Big Christmas Day Lunch 2024 for up to 500 older and isolated members of our community, but we need your help.

Can you support this brilliant event to make sure this Christmas is one to remember?

On 25 December, guests will enjoy a festive, two-course meal at the Novotel London West Hotel, Hammersmith, with entertainment, a gift bag and transportation there and back. We need to raise £45,000* and we’re asking for your help to make this incredible event happen.

Christmas can be a hard time for some of our older residents. For those that live by themselves or have no family to visit, it can be a very difficult and lonely day. Combine that with continued rising costs and cuts to the Winter Fuel Payment, this Christmas could be very cold and sad for many.

This year, we’re delighted that The Hurlingham Club Foundation has come on board as a headline supporter of the event, but we are looking for more amazing partners to come together and make this a special day for our older neighbours. The H&F’s Big Christmas Day Lunch relies entirely on the generosity of local individuals, businesses and foundations.
