Together at Christmas

Christmas time usually conjures up joyful images of family and friends celebrating, exchanging gifts, excited chatter and delicious food. For some people, however, it can be a dreaded, sad and lonely time. Marmalade Trust understands how difficult Christmas can be for someone who is struggling with loneliness.

They don’t want anyone to spend Christmas Day alone if they don’t want to, so they invite them to join them for a free festive lunch on the big day, or a doorstep visit. Those who join them (members) are those who feel particularly lonely and isolated this year, for example, a person of an older age who may have no family or friends around. Everyone is made to feel part of the Marmalade family!
