Helen praises Christmas spirit as free dinners offered

North Shropshire MP Helen Morgan has praised Wem Rotary Club for their efforts to combat isolation this Christmas.

On Christmas Day, the Rotary are putting on a Christmas dinner from 1pm at Wem Senior Club for any and all who wish to come along. It is free of charge, though donations are welcome.

They are also offering a service for volunteers to deliver meals straight to the homes of those who request one. You can book your place in-person or to your home by emailing Mel on melanie.sims@anchor.org.uk or calling 01939 233474.

Helen Morgan has praised the ‘Christmas spirit and brilliant work’ of Wem Rotary and thanked them for their contribution to fighting rural isolation.

Helen Morgan, MP for North Shropshire, said, “This is the definition of Christmas spirit and the generosity is no surprise given the wonderful communities we have here in North Shropshire.

“Wem Rotary Club’s exceptionally kind offer on Christmas Day is a testament to the fantastic community spirit we have in our market towns, and to the hard work of their team of volunteers.

“Isolation is a big and unspoken problem in rural areas like North Shropshire, and that can feel most acute during the winter months. It is really lovely to see people in Wem looking out for each other this Christmas, and I can’t praise the team at Wem Rotary enough for their work.”
