Providing a welcoming environment for all through food, friendship and fellowship, where people have the opportunity to exercise self-determination, make positive choices and maintain their independence. “Christmas can be a very difficult time for the people we support. Some have very little money to buy things for their family and some have had bad previous experiences during the festive season and the celebrations remind them of these past times. “At Hope Kitchen, we are open throughout the festive season, including Christmas Day which means that people can experience the warmth and joy of being with others and their families can enjoy a Christmas meal. We also provide Christmas gift bags to over 400 people which include toys for children, gifts for adults and tasty Christmas Treats. “Thanks to all the supporters of the Foundation for being so thoughtful about the needs of others over Christmas. We are particularly pleased that even though we are up in Oban we are not forgotten about. Your help has made a massive difference to so many people who would have very little otherwise.” Catriona Petit, Hope Kitchen Oban
