Festive friendship
IT’S CHRISTMAS and - for all the festive cheer to a never-ending playlist of ‘Last Christmas’ and ‘Santa Baby’ - it can be a difficult time for many people.
Loneliness can be particularly raw over Christmas and New Year. The annual Christmas Gathering organised by our own local charities is a great way of offering people the chance - if they feel like it - to meet up, have a laugh, a slice of turkey and a mince pie with a bit of entertainment thrown in.
