LOCAL SCENE

Samaritans Christmas Lunch 2019 - What started 18 years ago as a simple lunch in Newcastle for those who have ‘nothing else to do’ on Christmas Day, Samaritans Christmas Lunches have since flourished into three remarkable events (Newcastle, Singleton and Central Coast). Guests simply turn up at 11am on Christmas Day and enjoy a free Christmas Lunch, entertainment, friendship and of course a visit from Santa! Of course, these lunches couldn’t go ahead without the support of local businesses and volunteers – so if you’re keen to help out in 2020, get in touch with Samaritans at mail@samaritans.org.au or phone 4960 7100.
