Jam Jar Army: Preparations for Christmas under way

Hide AdMany of our residents go to their families for Christmas Day, but several enjoy the day in the house, with families and without.
We have a traditional visit from Santa on Christmas Eve and the staff and families work hard to make the festive period special by decorating the lounge and dining-room areas, organising a Christmas party and trip out, and giving presents.
However, Christmas can be a lonely time of the year for those living on their own with either no family or far away from their loved ones.
We know that there are people in the local community who will spend Christmas alone and we would like to extend an invitation to join us for Christmas lunch.
