West Lothian Youth Foundation are delighted to announce that we have received funding from The SPFL Trust to hold another Festive Friends Christmas Lunch!

WLYF have been funded for a set number of free places for the lunch on Wednesday 19th December 2018. The lunch is being held in the Stadium Bar at Livingston FC.

There is a number of set spaces available for elderly members of the West Lothian Community to come along to the stadium and enjoy an excellent 3 course meal as well as enjoying the company of other at Christmas time.

Normally Christmas is an exciting and fun filled time of year. For others, it is the opposite, with few friends or family, loneliness bears down and Christmas can feel a dark time. And so Festive Friends, in many ways a simple concept, was born out of an opportunity to create something special for those suffering the effects of isolation at a time of year when they need it most.

A tasty Christmas lunch, at the local football club, the means to get there, but more importantly the companionship and support often so desperately needed for elderly, vulnerable people. The reality is when you don’t eat well, and spend far too much time on your own you risk your physical and mental health.

If you know someone over the age of 65 who would be interested in coming along, get in touch and WLYF will see if we can get them along on the day. Should they wish to bring along a family member/friend on the day as a plus it would only cost £15.

Please note that places are limited and will be given out on a first come first served basis.

To book a place or for further details, please contact us via their contact form the website or call 01506 417000 and ask for the West Lothian Youth Foundation.
