A Cardiff chip shop that has been opening its doors to the homeless and vulnerable for the last four Christmases sent out over 700 meals on Christmas Day this year. Victoria Fish Bar in Whitchurch has been gathering volunteers to hand out meals, as well as coats, hats, gloves, and scarves to those in need.
This year also marked the third year that an invitation of a free meal was extended to NHS and public service workers. The chip shop, which opened its doors for three hours on Christmas Day, distributed 720 meals in total. Earlier this month, they called out for volunteers as well as donations for clothes and essentials after a "tough" year with the cost of living crisis.
In addition to distributing the meals to hospitals and the Huggard Centre, volunteers distributed donations of clothes, toiletries, and essentials to the homeless in Cardiff.
