No One Alone at Christmas

The Christmas season can be both joyous and sad. It is a time for families and friends to come together and have wonderful celebrations. But it is also a time for those on their own to feel very isolated and lonely. To compound the problems many organisations we rely on for support close down over the whole Christmas period and don’t open until the New Year. And some people have no contact at all with anyone for the entire period.
For the third consecutive year, Park Pharmacy Trust and Plymouth Social Isolation Forum are celebrating No One Alone at Christmas. This is an interfaith (and no faith) gathering open to all. To enable us this year not to have to turn anyone away because of lack of space, Sherwell United Church have generously offered their Hall from 1pm until 6 pm on 25 December Christmas Day and again on 26 December Boxing Day.
The fun of Christmas for many people is actually being involved in planning, preparing and bringing food to share, making and putting up decorations thinking of gifts for the free raffle prizes and most importantly, helping others. This is another DIY Christmas where you can do as much or as little as you like.
Please join in the fun and send us any/all ideas you may have to make No One Alone Christmas 2024 the best Christmas yet!
