AN East End community club will be hosting a free Christmas lunch event on December 25.
Bluevale Community Club will be open between 1pm and 3pm on Christmas Day to provide a free meal to “those who need it most”.
The centre has been running the initiative for the last two years now, but this year will be the first in-person event.

The lunch will be hosted at the Bluevale Community Hall on 30 Abernethy Street.
Kenny Trainer, project manager at Bluevale Community Centre, said: “With the cost of living and increased heating and lighting costs, it’s imperative that people have a place to go and get support on Christmas Day, especially when most other services close.
“This is a good thing for those out there who are vulnerable or may be lonely this Christmas to know they don’t need to be alone or go without Christmas dinner.”
The community club is also running a delivery service on the day for those that cannot attend in person. The team can deliver to anyone with a G31 postcode or those in the surrounding areas.
