Jingle and Mingle Community Christmas
Jingle and Mingle Community Christmas
DINE WITH US POSTER.pdfThis year a Community Christmas Project to tackle poverty, loneliness and isolation for as many as we can this Christmas Day has been set up across Aberdeenshire.
The group have raised over £23,000 to feed up to 600 people a Christmas Day Meal. Any excess funds will be rolled over to help us do it all over again next year.
The project will be providing every person attending with a full 3-Course Christmas Meal (taking account of dietary requirements), which will consist of:
Carrot & Lentil Soup Starter (Vegan/Vegetarian)
Turkey Roast Dinner (or alternative as required) including all the trimmings
Trifle (or alternative as required)
Refreshments (Soft drinks only - no alcohol is permitted)
Tea/Coffee afterwards
In addition to this:
Working with Abernecessities Children's Charity, with their kind donations, we will be providing every child attending our events with a Christmas Present.
We will be providing every young child with some crayons and colouring pages as well.
If you think this is something you, a family member, friend or acquaintance would benefit from please scan the QR code opposite or click on Jingle & Mingle | Instagram, Facebook, TikTok | Linktree to book a place for Christmas Day.
The bookings are open until Thursday, 11th December 2025 and the event takes place at Fetteresso Church, Stonehaven.
