A kind-hearted festive Five Valleys resident is inviting two people who will be alone this Christmas to spend the day with her family.

Jan Woods has two spare places available at her table and is appealing to anyone who would be interested in joining herself and her husband Chris, as well as her parents.

Posting on the Nailswoth Chat and Information Facebook page, she wrote: "If anyone knows someone who will be lonely at Christmas, I have two spare places at our dinner table and for the day.

"I am picking up my elderly parents from Stonehouse for the day and am happy to pick up and drop off. We have a large friendly dog and two rascally cats in case that puts anyone off.

"I was going to start by contacting local charities but thought that maybe some local people may have fallen through the charity or support networks. Let me know if you know anyone, thanks all."

Jan said she hopes to repeat the gesture for people more regularly.

"I’d like to be able to do this for people more often and not just for Christmas," she said.

"I thought I’d start there and see how it goes. It started when I saw the Bisto Spare Chair campaign and volunteered.

"I’m happy for anyone who has no one to join us. It’s just a shame I can only fit a couple of people in."

If anyone is interested, please contact Jan on 07711 942795 or through her Facebook page, Jan Woods.
