Festive support day at the Brangwyn Hall with a free Christmas dinner, pop-up food bank, live entertainment, vaccines, haircuts and clothing.
Together at Christmas is taking over Brangwyn Hall on Tuesday 1 December, a full day of festive support for people across Swansea. It's part of the council's HereForYouThisWinter campaign, and the whole thing is run in partnership with the charity Mr X, who make sure children at risk of going without a present on Christmas Day actually get one.
If you're heading in, the main draw is a free two-course Christmas dinner, served alongside live entertainment to keep the day going. There's more than just food, though: a pop-up food bank will be running, and you can get haircuts and clothing on site. It's aimed at people at risk of homelessness or isolation, so it's as much about the company as it is the meal.
Behind the scenes, the charity work goes beyond the day itself. Mr X handles the Christmas presents for children, and the initiative also works with Multibank Cymru, who help thousands of people get hold of basic household items, clothing and other essentials. It's a proper community effort rather than a one-off event.

To give you an idea of the scale this comes from, Council Leader Rob Stewart pointed to last winter's numbers: around 30,000 meals provided, 1,200 children who woke up to a present, and more than 130,000 free bus journeys. Together at Christmas is the next part of that, at Brangwyn Hall on 1 December.
