London\u2019s Euston Station Hosts Christmas Dinner For The Homeless<\/b><\/p>\n

London\u2019s Euston station has been transformed into a festive dining hall as it awaits 200 homeless guests for Christmas<\/a> dinner.<\/p>\n

Network Rail, which runs the rail network and operates the station, joined forces with charities Streets Kitchen and St Mungo\u2019s to host the dinner, to fill the main concourse with decorations and lay the tables for dinner.<\/p>\n

Around 45 volunteers from Network Rail are giving up their Christmas Day to work alongside volunteers from St Mungo\u2019s, which provides beds and support to more than 2,700 people in England, and Streets Kitchen, which feeds 1,000 people on the streets every week.<\/p>\n

The first guests will start arriving at 11am for food, presents and goody bags of toiletries and clothes. Additionally, 200 children from local schools have made Christmas cards for all who attend the event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Steve Naybour, head of transformation in Network Rail\u2019s track team, who is leading the team running the event, said: \u201cThousands and thousands of my colleagues will already be working on Christmas Day to improve the railway for passengers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking on Christmas Day is pretty much par for the course for many of us who work for Network Rail but this year, because I wasn\u2019t scheduled to work, myself and a handful of colleagues came up with this plan to feed some of London\u2019s homeless instead.<\/p>\n

\u201cSt Mungo\u2019s and Streets Kitchen have been fantastic. And I\u2019m proud to say we\u2019ve had lots of interest from Network Rail colleagues to volunteer to come along on the day to help out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe Hendry, Euston station manager, said:\u00a0\u201cStations are at the heart of local communities and we want to provide a legacy through good relationships with organisations like St Mungo\u2019s and Streets Kitchen that supports the homeless community in and around our station long after the buzz of Christmas has died down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well done #EustonChristmas<\/a> for making Christmas so much better for those who really need it. Merry Christmas to you all.<\/p>\n
