A pub in Blackburn hosted a free Christmas dinner for almost 60 residents to enjoy.
The Clifton Arms landlady Carole Davis was excited to put together a Christmas dinner free thanks to generous donations from people in the community.
The dinner, which was held on Sunday (December 10), was made possible thanks to the three customers who donated money for the meat, and Woods Fruit and Vegetables stall in Darwen.
Around 60 guests sat down for the roast dinner at 3pm, enjoying each others company and entertainment.
Carole said: “It was such a fabulous day. Everyone had a lovely afternoon and seeing all the smiles around the room was so heart warming.
“The community coming together here is just priceless.”
Carole also celebrated an impressive £800 being raised for Rummage Rescuers Winter Project which is an appeal for winter coats and school uniforms.
Liz Crook, chief executive of Rummage Rescuers, said: “Huge massive thanks to the Clifton community and Carole Davis for raising a huge £800 towards our school uniform funds for struggling families.
“This will help so many people and has already helped a family. School shoes have already purchased for two little boys.”
