For many in Wainfleet, this Christmas will be an extra special time as residents celebrate the end of a difficult year and new hope for the future.

To mark the occasion, a three-course Christmas Community Lunch is being held at Wainfleet Methodist Church Wednesday, December 18.

We especially would like to see the town's senior citizens and people who might be lonely at Christmas,

The event is hosted by the Skegness Standard, in partnership with the charity Buckingham Emergency Food, Wainfleet Methodist Church and local businesses, including the Co-op and Tesco in Skegness..

A real Christmas tree donated by Bell's of Benington is heading for the church next week so visitors can enjoy it throughout December as well as on the day.

On the 18th, a band of volunteers will welcome guests to the meal at 1pm, which will be followed by entertainment.

Just a few miles away at the Franklin Hall in Spilsby, residents will also gather for their Community Meal on Wednesday, December 18, which follows a successful event held there last year.

It is hosted by the Skegness Standard, in partnership with Spilsby Christian Fellowship, Spilsby Town Council and New Life Spilsby, as well as local businesses, including Sainsbury's and Woodthorpe Garden Centre, and Buckingham Emergency Food..

We would love to welcome back those who attended last year, as well as new guests, including the elderly and those who may be alone at Christmas.

The event includes again a free three-course festive meal to be served at 1pm, followed by entertainment.

Full details will be in next week's Spilsby/ Skegness Standard.

If you would like to go along or can help on the day with serving meals or entertainment, please call Chrissie on 07774326173 or email [email protected].
