A Registered Charity formed to provide occasional celebratory meals for the community of Ely and the surrounding area.
Ely Community Lunches is funded entirely by donations and is run by a team of volunteers.
Our aim is to support the local community by providing events for those who would otherwise miss out.
Our annual Christmas Day Lunch exists to try to make sure that as many people as possible are able to celebrate Christmas. We want those who are on their own to have the option of company and for those who are struggling financially or are physically unable to cook to be able enjoy a proper Christmas Lunch.
We charge a nominal fee of £10 (the actual cost per person is funded by donations) for a ticket for those who can afford to pay but would otherwise be on their own/unable to prepare the meal.
For those who are struggling financially we are able to provide free tickets thanks to the generous donations from local residents and businesses.
Whilst we get referrals from local organisations such as Ely Foodbank we are aware that many more people need support in some way to be able to enjoy events such as Christmas.
We hope to do our part to bridge that gap and support those in our local community who need it most.
