Christmas is coming early to Kidderminster as Bistrot Pierre once again teams-up with local charity KEMP Hospice to donate meals to patients and their families who may be in need this festive season. 

Kidderminster diners celebrating with friends and family by eating out this Christmas, will also be contributing towards a free restaurant meal for a resident in their community.  

For every Sunday Christmas party booking of six people or more in December, Bistrot Pierre, will gift a free Menu Pierre three-course meal to a Kidderminster resident, redeemable throughout January 2024. 

The Christmas initiative by French restaurant Bistrot Pierre, first introduced last year, will donate dinners to well-deserving Wyre Forest patients and bereaved families, nominated by local charity KEMP Hospice, providing a place for the community to gather and celebrate the festive season together.

KEMP Hospice, based in the Wyre Forest, offers care and support to patients, families and carers who are experiencing life-limiting illness and bereavement. At the heart of their care is the day hospice, which welcomes residents to its ‘happy hub’ to receive support in a safe space, as well as the opportunity to socialise. Alongside physical support, KEMP Hospice also provides counselling and emotional support in challenging times.  

“The ongoing support from Bistrot Pierre, and the Kidderminster team means a great deal to KEMP Hospice. Our local community really supports each other, showing care, strength, and kindness”, says Steffi Price from the charity. “Bistrot Pierre’s ‘Pay it forward’ programme offers all of our patients with life-limiting illnesses a chance to relax and forget their worries for a day, just be themselves. The impact of this kind of event is truly immeasurable and we’re so grateful to Bistrot Pierre for thinking of us again this year."

“We are delighted to be welcoming back our community charity partners this Christmas”, says Bistrot Pierre’s CEO Nick White. “Community is at the heart of what we do and as families continue to struggle with the cost-of-living this Christmas, we want to open our doors and welcome those most in need to enjoy a well-deserved and much-needed treat on us.

“We hope customers will want to get involved and make a difference to the lives of vulnerable residents in Kidderminster. We are still taking bookings for our Christmas period, so we're encouraging customers to try and be as generous as possible and enjoy a little bit of festive fun with us, which will also help those residents most in need in the area.

“It goes without saying, that we want to say thank you to KEMP Hospice for all the incredible work they do for the Kidderminster community. And most importantly, we hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!”
