Hammersmith and Fulham council is looking for any individuals or companies who may be able to provide donations to this year's annual Christmas lunch at the town hall.

The annual event, which has been running for more than 20 years, provides hundreds of residents, who might usually spend the festive period alone, the chance to come together to enjoy a Christmas meal of Roast Turkey with all the trimmings.

Anyone able to offer food, gifts of their time are being asked to come forward.

Cabinet member of community care, councillor Joe Calebach, said: "Christmas is a time for families to be together. Unfortunately not all of us are lucky enough to have friends or family around. That is why the council will once again hold our annual Christmas Day lunch party for older people who would otherwise spend Christmas alone. We rely heavily on the support of residents and businesses who donate or volunteer to make this special event possible and to me this truly demonstrates the spirit of Christmas.”
