Ron’s Christmas Lunch raised thousands for charity
Mr Day said: “My dad gave selflessly to his local community, and I am so grateful that Ron’s Christmas Lunch is able to resume again this year. The last two years have been particularly isolating for older people, making this event an even more important and worthwhile cause.“We are very thankful to Age UK Leeds for partnering with us again to make it happen.”
“It has also been heartwarming to see the Yorkshire business community, along with businesses outside the area, coming together to support this year’s event already, from sponsoring tables to donating drinks. We wouldn’t be able to put on Ron’s Christmas Lunch without everyone collaborating to make the event a success.”A disco and magic tricks from a magician rounded off the lunch for those attending.
Lisa Burnett, Income Generation Director at Age UK Leeds added: “Our partnership with Mike will mean that following this year's event, the total number of lonely people supported by Ron's Christmas Lunch will have reached an amazing total of over 400 people - making headway in reducing the loneliness felt by many at Christmas.”
