More than a Christmas meal
The dinner began in Fleetwood in 2019 with 60 guests. It has grown through the generosity of local volunteers, supporters and businesses. For many guests, the best part is the company: meeting someone new, seeing a familiar face and knowing they have a place to go.
In 2025, guests and volunteers came together at the Sea Cadet Base. The friendships made through the dinner continue well beyond Christmas Day.
