Manchester Charity Christmas Dinner clear up 2024
Provide a welcoming space for recent care leavers over Christmas
Location

Date and time
11:00 - 13:00Date changed as they have too many volunteers to help set up so we have been asked to help with cleaning and clearing up on 28th December
Since 2013, Christmas Dinners have been hosted by the Gold from the Stone Foundation to provide a safe space and sense of community for recent care leavers, who may otherwise not have a place to go for the festive period. They also get a cracking blanket from Quilts for care leavers. There is a video from 2023 of the event. Last year we had a couple of helpers for the set-up and I'm in contact to help out again.
The dinner itself takes place on Christmas Day, with the option to host a care leaver or to help out on the day. There is also the option to help with clean up on Saturday 28th December. Location is Woolton Hall, what3words:///owner.quest.ramp.
On the day of the meal, each of the Guests gets a Christmas Day sack of gifts, made up of one signature present, plus some winter woollies, and other items.
If you wish to donate this is here or there is a gift list too via their website.

Hey guys, was hoping for this to be my first Manchester session but unfortunately they've replied saying they have enough people and I'm not needed. Maybe in the new year
Yep just seen the email. I'll respond and see whether we can help out another way, either on 28th December or another. I'll confirm in due course. Thanks for signing up anyway and hopefully see you another time!
Community mission updated. They have too many volunteers for 22nd so we've been asked to help clearing up on 28th December.
Hi guys, just seen the email - I'm at family on the afternoon of Saturday 28th but I should be able to hopefully come for an hour or two before then so I'll keep myself down and confirm closer to the time :)

I'm afraid I won't be free on the 28th so wish you guys the best of luck! Hopefully another session around this time will work a bit better with my schedule
