No one should be alone at Christmas

Help ensure that 500 older and vulnerable people will enjoy Christmas Day

Here at H&F giving, we believe that no one should be alone on Christmas Day. That’s why, on the 25th December, we will host 500 of Hammersmith and Fulham’s elderly and isolated neighbours at H&F’s Big Christmas Day Lunch.

Working together in partnership with Hammersmith and Fulham Council, guests will be treated to a delicious two course Christmas lunch with all the trimmings at the Novotel in Hammersmith.

There will be music, dancing and of course a Christmas cracker to pull. Guests will be packed off with a goody bag full of treats, enjoy a free ride home and make some special memories with new friends.

But we need your help.

This event is completely funded by donations and we’re calling on the community for support.

Will you give today so that elderly and isolated residents of Hammersmith and Fulham don’t have to be alone this Christmas?

Let’s make this a Christmas to remember

We need to raise £45,000* – and we’re asking for your help to make it happen. Their special day relies entirely on the generosity of local individuals, businesses and foundations.

  • £1,000: Could bring joy for a table of up to 10 older people living alone. They’ll enjoy a full lunch together whilst making new connections, enjoying live entertainment, raffle, and receiving a gift package to take home.
  • £80: Could pay for one isolated resident’s full Christmas package. This includes a delicious two-course lunch including dessert, live entertainment, raffle, and a gift bag full of goodies to take home.
  • £70: Could pay for transportation for an older person, to and from the Novotel Hotel on Christmas Day.
  • £35: Could pay for a two-course meal for an older, isolated resident to enjoy with new friends.
  • £10: Could add a bit of sweetness to the day by covering the cost of an after-dinner festive mince pie, warming winter hot drinks & some festive biscuits for an older person to enjoy.
