An award-winning Northampton restaurant will ensure nobody goes hungry over Christmas and New Year by offering complimentary takeaways to the homeless community.
Saffron, in Castilian Street, will be handing out a hot meal and a soft drink to those living on the streets between 2pm and 3pm on Christmas Day and 9pm and 10pm on New Year’s Day.
Saffron owner Naz Islam said: “Supporting the most vulnerable members of our society is a key priority for all of us over the festive period and providing a hot meal for those who find themselves without a roof over their heads on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day is the least we can do.
“The festive period is a time where we enjoy spending time with our loved ones but not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to do that. We want to ensure those people don’t get forgotten about and that they are looked after.”
Naz has previously been awarded the Freedom of the City of London for his philanthropy and has received a British Citizens Award for his commitment to fundraising.
He was previously awarded a Certificate for Outstanding Community Contribution by the Mayor of Northampton in recognition of his charity work and commitment to the community.
Naz has raised more than £100,000 for local charities and established a school and orphanage in one of the poorest areas of Bangladesh with the help of his family.
