We’re delighted to bring you our 8th Glasgow Care Family Christmas Dinner.
The Care Family Christmas Dinner is an opportunity for Care Experienced people to spend Christmas Day celebrating with other Care Experienced people whilst enjoying a three-course meal in Glasgow.
Our day will start at 12 pm and finish at 3 pm. Guests will receive a hot chocolate on arrival whilst they catch up with old friends and mingle with new ones before sitting down together for a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. There will then be time for presents and a visit from Santa.
Our Christmas elves will make sure you feel welcome and have a memorable day with plenty of Christmas cheer.
We have limited spaces for this event, so we recommend registering as soon as possible. Registration for this event will open this Friday (08/11/2024) and close at 9am on Monday 9th December.
Who is this event for?
This event is all about belonging and connection and because we have limited spaces, we will be prioritising Care Experienced guests who would otherwise be spending Christmas Day alone. For this reason, we will not be able to accommodate large groups.
We rely on volunteer drivers to help us transport our guests to and from this event across the country, and although we will try our best to support all journeys, due to the spread of our volunteers this may not always be possible, so we will not be able to confirm places until, Tuesday 10th December, after registration has closed.
Everyone attending our Christmas Dinner will receive:
- A lift to the event from one of our reindeer fleet of volunteers if you don’t have your own means of transport to and from the event
- A hot chocolate on arrival
- A three-course Christmas dinner with all the trimmings
- A Santa sack of gifts
The event can be quite noisy so there be a quiet space available for anyone who needs some time out.
Christmas jumpers are optional, but fully encouraged! We look forward to making merry memories with you, let’s make 2024 a Care Family Christmas to remember.

Please register online before Monday 18th December, so we can organise your transport for the day and your gift bag.
