Kirinari wants to ensure anyone who has no one to share Christmas Day with has the option to join in and enjoy some food, entertainment and company.
The day is aimed towards people with a disability and elderly Tamworth residents who have no family to share the day with for whatever reason. However, no one will be turned away on the day and Kirinari is able to offer transport.
Colin and Gaye Johnson Weekes will be providing entertainment on the day.
