Lonely to benefit from Christmas Carol shows
North Yorkshire based The Flanagan Collective has teamed up with St Mary’s Church in Sheffield and York Nuturing Community for its production of A Christmas Carol, which takes place either side of a two course meal.
Both charities use surplus supermarket food to serve meals to those who need it, and use funds to provide community activities aimed at tackling isolation and loneliness.

What better way to make the spirit of the story come to life, than by using food that’s environmentally friendly while generating income for charities that help people from the cities we’re performing in?”


Sue Green from St Mary’s said: “Loneliness is becoming an epidemic as people struggle to connect and to form the relationships they need for life to be good. We could all do with learning the lessons Scrooge does in A Christmas Carol – life is just more fun when we are kinder to each other.”
The show opens at Theatre Deli, Sheffield on November 30 to December 16 before transferring to Mansion House, York on December 18. Book at theatredeli.co.uk or yorktheatreroyal.co.uk
