A Southport restaurant is helping to provide meals for elderly people in need this winter.
Lord Street based restaurant Bistrot Pierre has joined forces with Sefton Advocacy Centre to support elderly people struggling with loneliness and the devastating impacts of the cost of living crisis this winter. The scheme allows diners celebrating the festive season with friends and family to help others during a difficult time.
For every Sunday Christmas party booking of six people or more in December, Bistrot Pierre will gift a free three-course meal to a carer or charity user nominated by the Sefton Advocacy Centre. The meal will be redeemable throughout January 2023.

Sefton Advocacy provides independent, free and confidential help and support to people in Sefton. The organisation also hosts an older person's forum, which deals specifically with issues faced by local residents and gives them a voice within the community.
Nick White, CEO of Bistrot Pierre, said: "Community is at the heart of what we do at Bistrot Pierre. There has never been a more important time to throw open our doors and welcome in those most at need within the communities we are based.

"As a thank you to our customers who continue to support us, we thought it fitting to reward their loyalty by supporting those who are vulnerable this year with a much-needed treat courtesy of Bistrot Pierre, and we hope customers will want to get involved and make a difference to the lives of those living alone in Southport.
"We are still taking bookings for our Christmas period, so we're encouraging customers to try and be as generous as possible and enjoy a little bit of festive fun with us, which will also help those unsung residents in the area. I want to thank Sefton Advocacy for their support and for their tireless work with those in their community. And, most importantly, we hope everyone has a very merry Christmas."
