spotted this today but was doing in last night too
Festive chippy offers free food for the needy over Christmas weekend
Chips may not be traditional festive fare but the British favourite is on the menu at a fish bar which is opening on Christmas Day to feed the needy and homeless.
The Market Fish Bar 5 Salop St, Wolverhampton WV3 0RX Wolverhampton city centre for Christmas day.
As well as chips, the restaurant will be serving up curry, chilli, samosas, pakoras and beans at the Salop Street restaurant. So as not to exclude anyone, all the food will be vegetarian. They will also make hot drinks and sandwiches.
The chippie will be open between 11am and 1pm on Christmas Day

I know this is a forum for deals but if you are online you cannot be that needy. Hope people pass on the info to the NEEDY not the GREEDY.

Still a great selfless act on the part of those doing the giving....

The amount of money swilling around in this country we should all be ashamed that anybody is sleeping on the streets on any day of the year.

Sadly how do the needy get to these places if they are broke?

What would you class as needy?

It's in Wolverhampton, they're needy.
No one's going to drive there for free fish and chips!
I live in Peterborough. So recognise a place that isn't worth traveling to ... Even for free chips!

Absolute nonsense. Someone sleeping in a shop doorway doesn't stop being needy because they have internet access, or are you suggesting they'd better sell their smartphone for £50 before they deserve any help?
Never mind all of the libraries, shelters, charities etc that might provide free internet access.

Well not people who can afford to go online for sure - I would think this is aimed at those living rough or those who cannot afford a hot dinner today not those trawling websites for deals.

Not for people that can afford to go online? How about people that can afford to spend the equivalent amount on alcohol each month?

Very presumptuous,how do you not know someone is not sacrificing hot food and living off sandwiches so they can afford internet access to find a better job.

Perhaps the fish bar could lay on taxis or bus people in?

Sorry OP but imo I'm not sure this should have been posted. Some people will be sure to take advantage and it might ruin it for those who it was aimed at helping. I just don't think this should have been shared with a wider audience, it just wasn't that kind of 'deal'.

Needy and the homeless. Not hot deal scroungers, like myself. And anyway if I made the trip I wouldn't be back in time to eat my nearly out of date reduced sainsburys turkey I bought yesterday.

Have you not heard of benefits and council estates? They are all charity cases!

Smartphones are a lifeline for homeless people.
