For the past few years, the Lions Club has helped the community hub to host their annual Winter Warmer Wednesday lunches by donating £500, helping to subsidise the cost of the food. It means each Wednesday in November, December, January and February, they can offer a soup, a hot homemade main course and a pudding at a reduced price. This year they have also introduced a two-course special!

The club has also donated another £500 towards the centre's annual Senior Citizens Christmas Party, which helps to bring local people together in a special festive celebration.

Concern Wadebridge Manager Em Burt said: "As many will remember, the Lions used to host an amazing party each year at the school, which has not been possible recently so instead we are hosting!

"Our lovely venue is a lot smaller so we can only cater for 100 people and due to our kitchen size we are unable to do a roast dinner, instead this year we will be doing a buffet lunch with entertainment.

"We host the party for anyone who might be alone, had a bad year, lost a partner, or full-time carers in need of a pick-me-up. Thank you to Wadebridge Lions and some of our lovely suppliers who donate items for free so we can make it the best party ever!"

This year’s event will be on Tuesday 23rd December 11am-2pm. The day is free but there will be a raffle to raise funds for the charity. Spaces are limited so priority will be given to senior citizens in Wadebridge. Transport can be arranged with notice. To book please call Emma or Suzanne on 01208 812392.
