EAST MIDLANDS: Three friends from Leicester prepared 2,000 Christmas dinners for homeless and vulnerable people over the course of four days.
Jack Meldrum, George Stewart, and Tallulah Horton ran the project, doubled the record of 700 meals they set last year.
The meals are mostly given to the homeless, but some went to those in social housing and elderly people in the Midlands and Scotland.
They spent about £5,000 on food which the money was raised by Mr. Meldrum, who works in marketing and appealed to his clients for donations.
The food was cooked and prepared at The Pumping Station in Cropston, Leicestershire. Mr. Stewart, a professional chef, ran the kitchen with help from a trainee chef at Leicester College.
“You see how much people really need food and how bad the situation is across the country so it can be a bit upsetting at times,” said Mr. Meldrum.
