Lunch on Christmas Day 2020

Christmas Day 2020 was very special at the Free Range Cafe. Thanks to all our wonderful and generous supporters we were able to provide a traditional meal, and gifts, to around 75 people. From the homeless, elderly, less fortunate and just people who might otherwise been on their own. 
The majority of people ate in the cafe over 3 sittings, but we also managed to deliver meals direct to people at home.

Thank you to our amazing supporters

Wiltshire council local board gave us a £1,000 grant to get us going with this project. We thank them for their support. Due to the overfunding of our Just Giving page, we are now able to pay the council back half of their generous grant. In that way the money can be put to use elsewhere in the community.
