Spare Chair Sunday - Contact the Elderly Campaign
Did you know a third of people over the age of 70 in the UK eat alone every day
So The Bisto Together Project and the charity Contact the Elderly have teamed up together to form Spare Chair Sunday
See below for details about what Spare Chair Sunday is about
Sunday lunch should be a time of togetherness. The one meal we all look forward to, where we sit down with friends and family for good food and good times. Yet for 1 in 7 older people, it’s the loneliest time of the week.
So The Bisto Together Project and national charity Contact the Elderly have joined forces to create Spare Chair Sunday. A project that allows people to offer up a spare chair at their Sunday Lunch to an older person who would otherwise be eating alone.
For just a couple of hours of your time, you could make someone’s day. And of course, there’s nothing better than sharing some good food, great tales, and laughter around the table! If you can spare a chair at your table and host a meal, we’d love to hear from you. To sign up click here
