Vicar left in tears over community's food poverty as cost of living rises
This year will be the church's eighth free Christmas Day lunch event following a two-year gap during the Covid pandemic when they offered a lunch delivery instead.
Plumber Pete Humphreys is also running a free Christmas Day lunch event at Yellow and Blue community hub in Wrexham."They don't know how they're going to control their heating bills... a lot of people are choosing food over warmth." "I've gone through homelessness so I've got a bit of experience and an affinity with the people on the streets and in temporary housing," he said.
"I I look forward to Christmas Day now because of helping others, whereas I never used to look forward to Christmas Day before because I lost my dad," he said."We don't have any sort of labels attached, so if you're feeling lonely or isolated and you just want to spend Christmas with other people that care then we open up the doors.
