Christmas party at the Melbourne Arms in Duston for lonely community
“We have been really touched. Hopefully we can spread the word and see some new faces in the new year”
Festive cheer was spread when a Northampton group hosted a Christmas party for those who may not have someone to spend Christmas with.
The Melbourne arms in Duston runs a group on a Thursday, where lonely people can meet up in a warm environment and have tea, coffee and lunch free of charge, all funded by donations.
This week, the group hosted a Christmas party where attendees had a Christmas buffet, and a goody bag to take home.
Emma, who runs the group, said: "We want to say a massive thankyou to the community of Duston and local businesses for all their wonderful donations. It really means a lot.
"We have been really touched. Hopefully we can spread the word and see some new faces in the new year."
