Making a difference for seniors and people in need this Christmas

Mark your calendars, Parramatta’s much-loved Seniors Christmas Party and Christmas Day meal for people in need are set to return to Riverside Theatres and Parramatta Town Hall this December.

Riverside Theatres will deck the halls for seniors and their companions to celebrate the festive season with a free morning tea and screening of Christmas movie, The Man Who Invented Christmas on Thursday 19 December from 9.30am-12.15pm.

Make a Difference for Christmas Charity will take over Parramatta Town Hall for a special Christmas Day Brunch featuring a spectacular spread with all the festive trimmings for people in need. The free community event, proudly supported by Council and Walker Corporation, runs from 10.30am-1pm on Wednesday 25 December.

City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Cr Martin Zaiter said Christmas is a time to both celebrate and give back to the people in our community who are less fortunate.

“Christmas can be the most magical time of the year for many but for some of our more vulnerable community members, it can be a lonely time,” Cr Zaiter said.

“We don’t want anyone in our community to miss out on a decent meal or the chance to celebrate the festive season in good company.

“If you’re a senior or in need of company and a good meal this Christmas, I encourage you to join these events.”
