Alternative Christmas is our special event on Christmas Day for those who may not have anywhere to go or wish to spend the time with other like-minded folk.

This year is extra special because not only have The Loom very generously offered to help by using their venue, they have also offered to cook everyone an ALTERNATIVE Christmas Dinner: 

Authentic Indian, Royal Chicken Butter Masala and Chicken Biryani (not too hot) will be served, and we'll also have some cheese and onion pie for veggies!

If anyone is interested in donating please let us know.

We will also supporting one another with Casual Minds Matter to bring greater awareness to loneliness which can cause mental health issues.

The doors will open at 10.30am and food will be served around 12ish. If anyone would like to go to The Shift Café for karaoke then we normally head around for 3pm.

If you are struggling for money you do not need to worry... ALL THE FOOD IS FREE (however donations will be welcome). 

Please don't feel in any way anxious, self-conscious or anything because we will all be there enjoying time with each other and we love new company and love meeting new faces!

All are welcome!
