But the day is the first Monday in December and on that day we always have a street party for our friends.
00:05
As you can hear, it's a bit of a party. We have a turning on the lights on.
00:10
We've had Linda Swan coming tonight who've turned on the lights for us and done a bit of singing inside the hall.
00:14
And then we've got some street vendors that have come along to provide their services free of charge for our friends.
00:19
We've had the choir, we've got a band, we've got some of the bands inside and we've got Santa.
00:24
It's a lot of effort to organise. The team leaders do a cracking job but everybody just bucks in and does their bit.
00:30
So today is the start of our Christmas celebration. So every day we have an advent gift for our friends.
00:37
We know that the people that come to the People's Kitchen often have a really tough time over the Christmas period.
00:42
So we make it as happy as possible.
00:44
So the People's Kitchen is here seven days a week, 365 days a year.
00:49
And it's all run by volunteers. So we've got no paid staff at all. Every single person's a volunteer.
00:55
Which means that every time somebody donates or they come and help, it goes straight to the people in need.
01:01
And that is about three times as many as we had sort of pre-Covid.
01:06
So there's been a massive change and a massive uplift in the amount of people that come.
01:10
Well obviously it's a great shame it's needed in the first place.
01:13
But thankfully it's here. I want to thank all the volunteers who work very hard.
01:18
And the impact of the People's Kitchen goes far beyond the meals they serve.
01:23
Because they also provide somewhere warm. They provide companionship.
01:28
And also they do provide services where someone needs help with housing issues or mental health issues.
01:34
Things like that. They are here to help them and point them in the right direction.
01:39
Next.
01:46
We like to come here because we support the People's Kitchen and everything they do.
01:51
It's badly needed in this day and age.
01:54
So we've sung a couple of songs. I've had a curry. And it's been very nice indeed. Lovely to see it.
