Some of Leicester’s most vulnerable residents will enjoy a special Christmas treat this year thanks to a seasonal gift from a popular high street restaurant.
French-inspired Bistrot Pierre, in Millstone Lane, is joining forces with Age UK Leicester Shire and Rutland to donate festive meals to those in need this winter.
As part of the restaurant’s Pay It Forward campaign, diners enjoying a Christmas party of eight or more with friends and family will contribute towards a free three-course meal for a resident in their community, who will be nominated by the Leicester branch of Age UK.
Bistrot Pierre’s CEO Nick White said:
“As we celebrate our 30th birthday this year, community continues to be at the heart of what we do and we are delighted to be opening our doors to welcome those most in need.
“Our loyal customers can make a difference to the lives of vulnerable residents in Leicestershire and Warwickshire by booking a table for eight of more people on Sundays during December. We are now taking bookings, so why not come and have some festive fun with us safe in the knowledge that it will be giving local residents a chance to enjoy their own party?
“We’re hugely grateful for the fantastic work which continues to be done by Age UK each year and in teaming up with them, we hope everyone can have a very happy and healthy Christmas this year.”
Age UK Leicester Shire and Rutland prides itself on being a local charity with a national name. Working independently, the charity and its volunteers are consistently out in the community, helping older people live happier, active, fulfilled lives across the city, county and further afield.
Tony Donovan, executive director of Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland, added:
“The cost-of-living crisis is having a huge impact on the financial situation of many older people and for them, eating out is now seen as a luxury.
“We’re delighted that Bistrot Pierre have extended their generosity this year and partnered with Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland to provide an opportunity for vulnerable older people in the community to enjoy a delicious warm meal for free.”
