THE Boscastle and Tintagel Group of Churches have been running a community lunch for many years on the fourth Wednesday of each month at Otterham and St Juliot Hall.

The event is a lovely opportunity for those who live on their own to come together for a two-course meal, and a chat with old friends, and to make new ones.

Last Wednesday they held their Christmas meal, with more than 70 people attending the volunteer-run event, in the new Otterham and St Juliot Hall.

The money raised throughout the year supports the costs of ministry across the Group of Churches and, more importantly, encourages people to come together.

The lunch organisers are always looking for new people to volunteer — for those wishing to help in the kitchens it will be necessary to attain a Basic Food Hygiene Certificate or be willing to train.

Anyone interested in volunteering or joining the next planned meal can contact the Rev Robert Thewsey on 01840 250359.
