An alternative nativity story

Scenario 1- Once upon a time there was a drop in in Northampton... On Saturday 24th December a group of people who were hungry, cold with nowhere to go turned up to see if there was any room for them to come in... but they found the doors shut and locked and a sign saying that due to insufficient volunteers the Centre was closed until Wednesday 28th December. So they went away still hungry, cold and with nowhere to go.

Scenario 2- Once upon a time there was a drop in in Northampton... On Saturday 24th a group of people who were hungry, cold and with nowhere to go turned up to see if there was any room for them to come in...fortunately a group of volunteers had opened the Centre & they were welcomed in, offered showers, hot drinks, sandwiches and cake, and found people who were ready to listen to them in a warm, friendly atmosphere.

More people commit suicide in the week between Christmas and New Year than at any other time of year.
