“The Christmas Event is so good. It gets me out of my house, and I get to enjoy a warm meal and a present from Father Christmas. I am happy each time I attend…”

“There is so much to like about Connect Bath and, at a time when generally families are together, happy and on holiday, I especially like having the opportunity to support others. There are many within the community that really appreciate the happiness, kindness and care of the staff and volunteers... It provides me with an opportunity to make a very small but positive difference to those who need it, on Christmas Day.”
— Nigel, Meet & Greet
“We feel privileged to be part of Connect Bath’s Christmas Event and love it - we have met fabulous attendees and volunteers ‘it’s a smile day’ from the start to the end from the very young to the very old... We have a fantastic and joyful time helping and bringing happiness to those in need... AMAZING, REWARDING, EMOTIONAL”
— Lesley & Peter, Table Host & Driver
“We love that Connect Bath’s Christmas Event is available to ANYONE who would otherwise be alone on Christmas Day. We have seen on several occasions that a combination of elderly single people and young mums or lonely new to Bath residents, can get together on this very important day. It is especially poignant for those who may have recently lost a loved one to come into a beautiful environment with happy cheerful people to really enjoy the social aspect and healthy delicious food provided. The fact that car lifts and even takeaway options are also provided is fantastic.”
— Jennifer & Family, Gift Wrappers / Meet & Greet
