Cllr. Matthew Goodwin-Freeman joined local residents again for the Annual Opendoor Christmas Lunch.
Local resident, Rita O'Brien, set up the Opendoor idea to encourage local residents to meet and build friendships. The heart of a home is the kitchen and that was exactly what inspired Rita O'Brien to extend the invitation to her local community, to come together in her pink kitchen in her Open Door gatherings. Not only do these gatherings bring people together, but through everybody's participation, money is raised for a chosen charity each month. Open Door is about giving people a place to meet new faces, share a laugh, all the while helping to bring awareness to some of the lesser known charities and raise much needed funds to support their continued work.
