The post predict 😛 TAGEND
The’ A’ team at Victoria Fish Bar in Whitchurch have decided to be open on Christmas day, this however will not be for customary work. Homelessness has been on a rise in Cardiff and we think we need to make a difference as influential members of this community. Hence on Christmas day 12 -3pm, we shall be open for all homeless, elderly and vulnerable people, supplying free banquets to all those who come.
We realise that not everybody has the indulgence to have a nice warm meal at a loved one’s house with family and friends, so we will try very hard on the working day to imitate such its own experience. So to those who are homeless, elderly or vulnerable, come and affiliate us and we can experience this great time together.
The social media announce has naturally received lots of positive feedback, and has been shared a whopping 14,000 times.

I hope that members can all do something special for xmas … you deserve it[ sic]
The restaurant has a rating off 4.5/ 5 on Google, based off 202 reviews, with numerous parties commenting on how lovely the staff are.
A study by the charity Shelter estimated that 280,000 beings in England are homeless, up 23,000 from 2016.

It includes 4,677 people sleeping bumpy, 254,927 living in temporary accommodation arranged by themselves or the council, 3,937 being accommodated by social services, 14,684 living in hostels and a further 2,292 not being accommodated by councils.
And a review of government data demonstrates a further 220,000 were threatened with homelessness in the last year.
Small acts of kindness, such as this from the Victoria Fish Bar, can at least lead some lane to help those in need.
