Christmas is often painted as a time of joy and celebration, this time of year can be difficult for a lot of people. For people experiencing homelessness, hardship or loneliness this Christmas, The ‘Make a Difference for Christmas’ charity, in partnership with Parramatta council, are hosting a free Christmas Brunch at Parramatta Town Hall on Christmas Day. This brunch has been taking place for over 20 years and has made such an incredible difference in the local community. Earlier this week 2ser producer Emily had the pleasure of speaking with the event’s organisers; Marianne, Sherley, and Kylie about the Brunch’s history, the inspiration behind it, and all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes. 

If you’re free and looking for somewhere to go this Christmas Day the brunch will be happening from 10:30am-1pm in Parramatta Town Hall. Alternatively if you’re looking to help out and spread some cheer, they’re also looking for volunteers…
