Many of us are planning a more frugal Christmas this year, intending to cut down on festive food and gifts, and 30% of us are even cutting down on visiting relatives for fnancial reasons - but some will still struggle to have a Happy Christmas.

This is why Causeway Coast Vineyard - a Christian church that meets every Sunday in Coleraine - is opening its doors to invite the local community to lunch this Christmas Day.
