Connect Bath provides events and activities to tackle loneliness and prevent social marginalisation across the BaNES area.

Every year they provide a freshly cooked festive lunch to anyone who would otherwise be alone on Christmas Day, supporting their wellbeing through conversation, connection and companionship.

Connect Bath is the new name for Bath Open Christmas  which has been supporting local residents for the last 30 years. It is run by a small team of enthusiastic volunteers who are currently seeking charitable status.
