FORMER Liverpool Captain Mark Wright has teamed up with top Liverpool restaurant Hanover Street Social to make sure that as many people as possible have somewhere to have Christmas Dinner on Christmas day.  Wright who is also a Foster Carer has collaborated with Jonny and Collette Poole owners of Hanover Street Social to be able to provide 70 people on Christmas Day a happy environment. 

Wright said:- "Not everyone is fortunate to be in a place in their lives where Christmas Day means being with people and having a big meal with all the trimmings. This year myself, Jonny and Colette Poole will be doing our bit to make sure that we can help at least 70 of those people in need."

Colette Poole owner of Hanover Street Social said:- "We as a business have a strong social responsibility ethos but as individual's myself and Jonny also care very deeply that people are not alone. Our suppliers have generously donated all the food for the day for which we are very grateful!. We have already been contacted by families that have children that are living below the poverty line; 1 family were struggling so much that they only had one winter coat between 2 children to share."

The successful Hanover St social which is also part of the Bacaro, Salt House Tapas and Cheese and Co group of restaurants will also be joined by local celebrities on Christmas Day including Pete Price and Clare Sweeney.

Any organisations that would like to donate toys or nominate an individual or a family in need for a place on Christmas Day please contact Collete via:- email or drop any donated toys into Cheese and Co 1 Derby Square (on the corner of Caste Street)
