A celebration of kindness, connection, and community spirit.
The Bideford Community Christmas Lunch is a beautiful and inspiring event, brought to life through the tireless dedication of Rose Young.
Rose leads the planning and organisation of every aspect of the day – from coordinating a team of volunteers and chefs, to arranging food deliveries, drivers, and timetables, to collecting gifts and ensuring every detail is taken care of.
Thanks to her hard work and the support of local volunteers, the last event welcomed over 80 local residents – bringing joy, warmth, and companionship to many who might otherwise spend Christmas alone.
Guests can enjoy: A traditional Christmas meal Minibus transport or home delivery for those who need it Thoughtful gifts and fresh flowers Games, entertainment, and festive cheer
We at South West Event Management Solutions CIC are proud to support this incredible event. Our team member Lucy volunteers her time to assist Rose with planning in the lead-up to the big day.
After taking a break last year, we’re so excited to return – and we need YOUR help to make this year truly magical! 💫
