A short story about...

The W12Together Christmas Dinner is a free celebration for young people aged 18–25 with care experience who might otherwise spend Christmas Day alone.

Inspired and supported by The Christmas Dinners initiative, this community-led event brings together local people, volunteers and organisations to create a truly special day filled with kindness, good food and festive cheer.

What to Expect

Guests will enjoy:

• A delicious traditional Christmas dinner

• A Christmas hamper for every attendee

• Fun activities in the West Youth Zone space

• A warm, friendly atmosphere with volunteers on hand to make everyone feel welcome

• Transport assistance for those who need it

Our aim is to make sure every guest leaves feeling valued, connected and part of the community.
