The Manchester Christmas Dinner

🎄 Welcome to The Manchester Christmas Dinner YouTube Channel! 🎄

We’re all about making Christmas Day magical for young adult care leavers aged 18 to 25 — young people who might otherwise spend the day alone.

The Christmas Dinner started right here in Manchester in 2013, thanks to poet and writer Lemn Sissay. Since then, the idea has spread across the UK, with amazing volunteer teams in each city putting their own local spin on the celebration.
Every year, our Manchester community comes together to create a joyful, welcoming Christmas full of food, fun, gifts, and laughter — a day to remember for everyone involved. ❤️
