Abigail Noonan, from the charity, said the organisation had served 12,000 breakfasts this year, an increase from 6,000 in 2022.
“It’s amazing that we’ve been able to provide that support, but it shows there are more people who need our help and it’s harder to provide that help because things cost more,” she said.
“As long as people need our help, we’ve got to be here to provide it.”
Alongside a hot meal, the charity’s Christmas project also allows people to collect clothing, take a hot shower and access services such as a barber, a hairdresser and an optician.
“The hot meal is a really great vehicle to get people in the door but once they’re in and they see our amazing volunteers, the boost that it gives people is to really feel included,” said Ms Noonan.
“It’s so much more than a meal.”
