ROUND TABLE members in Flintshire are once again set to host a Christmas Day dinner for the most vulnerable members of their community this year.
December 25 of last year saw the Mold and Buckley Round Table host a dinner for residents who would otherwise be alone on Christmas Day.
The dinner was cooked by The Round Table’s resident chefs, chairman, Colin Devitt and treasurer Eirian Price at the Rise Café in Buckley, and the Daniel Owen Centre in Mold.
The main aim of the meal was to reduce isolation in the community and help spread Christmas joy to all.
And, after supporting around 50 people last Christmas, the Mold and Buckley Round Table team has now confirmed that the meal will return for December 2023.

It will be taking place at the Daniel Owen Centre in Mold and a three course meal will be on offer.
A statement from the team read: "After the success of our Christmas Day meal last year, we've decided to do it again! We fed over 50 people last Christmas Day who otherwise might have gone without any company, or a proper dinner on Christmas Day.
"So if you look like you're going to be alone on Christmas Day, or know someone who is, then we welcome you to join us at the Daniel Owen Centre in Mold, for a three course meal and some great company.
"Perhaps the increased cost of living means you might go without a proper Christmas Dinner? You're welcome to join us!"
Donations to the Christmas Day meal can be made here.
The round table is also looking for volunteers to help with serving or transport on the day, as well as table decorations and Christmas cards to make the centre look extra festive.
A statement from Mold and Buckley Round Table added: "Last year was brilliant, but let's make Christmas 2023 even better!
"This year we're doing the same again, but hopefully bigger and better! Any donation, no matter how small will go towards making sure that we can feed as many people as possible on Christmas Day. No one should have to spend Christmas Day alone, or hungry."
