The Rotary Club of Battersea Park is to host a free Christmas day dinner for up to 400 elderly residents.

Those attending the event, into its 50th year, will get a three course meal, with sherry and minced pies.

There will also be entertainment, Christmas carols and a goodie bag for guests to take home.

The charity relies on donations to provide food for the guests, costing £35 per meal.

Volunteers help to organise the meal, with the charity seeking bus escorts to help drivers bring the guests and their carers to the venue.
