A scheme providing free Christmas dinners to those who need them will continue for the seventh year running in Gnosall.

The free Christmas meals are paid for by the community fund which is fuelled by generous donations.

Locals can sign up for their Christmas dinner online and place their order for the big day.

Each meal includes a choice of turkey, salmon or vegetarian main (nut roast) with all the trimmings, a choice of dessert – Christmas pudding and sauce or trifle, a choice of a red, white or rose mini bottle of wine, as well as cheese and biscuits, a mince pie, Christmas card and a small gift.

Click here to place your order (deadline 11 December).

Gnosall Parish Council said: "Once again the dinners are being cooked by our caretaker and former chef, Jon Cooke, ably assisted by a team of dedicated volunteers.

"Meals will be delivered on Christmas Day morning.

"There is no charge but donations help keep this community offer going year after year and are gratefully received.

"We also welcome volunteers on Christmas eve morning to help with card writing, present wrapping, vegetable peeling and packaging of meals, and deliverers to collect and distribute meals on Christmas morning.

"Please contact the parish office if you can help."
