Christmas Plus One
Christmas last year was far from normal for most of us. In the midst of the pandemic restrictions, we were away from our loved ones and unable to share food and fun with our wider friends and family. It was in this challenging environment that so many of us got to know our neighbours and people we don’t normally speak to, we dropped round shopping or prescriptions and offered help. This year, our Christmas is hopefully looking a little more business as usual. Christmas Plus One is your opportunity to check-in with those around you again. We’re sure they would love to share a drink, food, a chat and some fun with you – all they need is an invitation. All they need is a plus one.
We are giving every member of the UK public a Plus One this Christmas. We want you to take your Christmas cheer one step further and involve someone new in your festive plans. Reach out or reconnect with someone who might be feeling lonely, a neighbour you haven’t met yet, or someone you helped during lockdown and give them a Plus One. It’s a great way to spread some cheer and positive connection at this difficult time of year for many, and who knows, you might make a new friend and create some wonderful memories for you both.

How?
On Tuesday, 14th December, extend your Christmas cheer and invite a Plus One to join you for some festive fun. You can do whatever you would like – it might be cake and tea in your local cafe, a frosty walk around the park, or a trip to a local festive event, such as Christmas market or carol singing event. Or you could take your Plus One for a Christmas drink at your lovely local pub.
We’ve teamed up with Pub is The Hub, who run a campaign called ‘Join Inn – Last Orders for Loneliness’, and Heineken UK, who run Brewing Good Cheer, to encourage pubs across the UK to welcome you and your Plus One to their pubs and outside spaces on the 14th December. If the 14th December doesn’t work for you, feel free to invite your Plus One out at any time that works for you during December.
Let us know what you and your Plus One get up to by sharing on social media with the hashtag #ChristmasTogether.
