Christmas Day Volunteers
The Alice Cross Centre traditionally opens its doors to people on Christmas day, serving a full Christmas Lunch to those who would otherwise spend Christmas alone. We usually have around 70 people in attendance and it’s a great day! We cannot run this event without the hard work and dedication of volunteers. If you think you can help, please fill in the application form below and we will be in touch with you! Thank you!
