Christmas brunch for struggling locals

Locals doing it tough on Christmas day are invited to a community Christmas brunch in Brimbank.

The ‘more hope for Christmas’ brunch is hosted by charity organisation Inspire Hope in partnership with the St Albans Tin Shed, and is funded through Brimbank council.

Inspire Hope founder and Tin Shed manager Tamara Carr said the event will be filled with delicious treats, fun activities and heartwarming moments.

“It’s designed for anybody who will potentially spend Christmas day alone… those who are doing it tough and want a fun environment to celebrate Christmas,” Ms Carr said.

The brunch will feature a range of activities including karaoke, a DJ set, food hampers, trivia games and prizes, a photo booth and gifts.

“It’s a really fun family kind of environment, to just give back to the community and provide a space for people,” Ms Carr said.

“We did it last year and it was quite successful so this year we’re hoping for the same.

“Bring your own Santa hat! Feel free to come all dressed up in your Christmas glam.”

A roast lunch and desserts will be offered on the day.

“You’re gonna spend the day alone? Come and spend it with us. Just bring your happy little smile and be a part of our Tin Shed family.”

The ‘more hope for Christmas’ event will run from 10am-2pm on Thursday 25 December at the Tin Shed, 309A Main Road East, St Albans.

Registration is required for catering purposes and gifts.
