A cafe in Shropshire is preparing dozens of free Christmas dinners and gifts for anyone in the community who might otherwise be alone on Christmas Day.
Fred Bilgic, owner of The Ploughboy in Shrewsbury, has been doing it for 11 years after his wife had the idea, and said it was the family’s way of giving back.
In total, the cafe expects to serve about 200 people with turkey, beef and chicken meals and will be taking food to homeless people in the town.
“Loads of people are lonely,” Mr Bilgic said, “we’re just happy to help make their Christmas Day.”
