After an incredibly busy day organising the Marlborough Christmas lunch mother and daughter team, Claire and Vicki Ellis, were finally able to sit down to their own family Christmas dinner when they received a phone call. Two people, expecting a home delivered lunch had missed the delivery and were feeling distraught. Without further ado, Claire and Vicki put together a Christmas lunch from their own kitchen and delivered it.
Joy Kerton, mother and grandmother to Claire and Vicki, told Marlborough.news, “I’m so very, very proud of them. They didn’t hesitate and just dished up one of the family meals and took it round.”
And the Christmas spirit and generosity didn’t stop there. On Boxing Day when they were busy clearing up the Town Hall after the Christmas Day event, they put together an afternoon tea bag and presents for the two men.
