Story
It is with great delight that Belko’s Burgers can announce that they will be hosting a special Christmas dinner event, for the homeless and less privileged in Salisbury.
The event will take place on Christmas Day at The Chapel Nightclub in Salisbury. The dinner will be coordinated with several organisations that help the homeless and those at risk in the city.
Organiser, Thom Belk, is looking for volunteers to help prepare and deliver the event.
“I’m looking for people in the Salisbury area to help assist me in the running of this event, whether you can help cook, wait on tables or would like to entertain the guests. I’d love to hear from you.”
“It hasn’t been an easy year for Salisbury as a city. Those that are homeless or are at risk, have at times felt the strain of the events much more than the rest of the residents.”
“Christmas, like many special events, is a lovely occasion which we enjoy, but take for granted. For those that are homeless, alone or under-privileged it can be a time of reflection, sadness and loneliness.”
“I’m delighted to announce that we will be joined by the Mayor & Mayoress of Salisbury, who’ll be helping us on the day.
“The aim is to provide those that attend a special day, where they feel part of the community. For those who are contemplating volunteering, I can tell you from experience that is really a special and rewarding experience.”
“We’re also in need of funds in order to run this special event. Our aim is to not only provide those attending with a meal, but also with a small gift bag, with essential items.
We’ve launched a crowd funding page in order to help us raise the amount needed.”
As announced, Cllr Mike Osment, Mayor of Salisbury will be attending the event along with the Mayoress
“The Mayoress and I are delighted be supporting this project and look forward to spending Christmas Day helping to provide a meal and company to those in need in Salisbury”
NEEDED: We’re currently looking for any local businesses or people are interested in donating food, presents etc. for the occasion, or donating an amount to sponsor the occasion, then please contact Thom Belk – thombelk@icloud.com

6 years agoWOW! I really can't say how great the response has been! It's really gathered pace this weekend following the great media coverage we've received from Valley News and Spire FM. The initial target has been smashed, I am truly overwhelmed by the fantastic generosity & support we've received.Thank you so much! We will now be amending the target amount as we include some further aims we'd like to achieve, some of this will be donations to local homeless charities with excess monies raised etc The offers of help has been staggering also! Thanks!
