"Some truly special people will be pulling on their uniforms and heading out to work, he said. Many volunteers will be out there as well. Serving food. Reaching out to help those lonely or in need. As a nation, we should raise a glass to you this Christmas. But more than that, we should each do our bit as well."
"I know many across Britain are still struggling with the cost of living. Helping with that is my priority. But at this time of the year, which celebrates love and abundance, loss or hardship can feel even more acute. So call around to a neighbour. Check in on a friend or a relative who you haven't heard from for a while. Reach out. It can make a huge difference."
A call urged Britons to show kindness to struggling friends and family this Christmas, stressing that simple contact can make a significant difference. The appeal referenced volunteers and public sector workers who will be on duty, serving food and reaching out to the lonely and needy, and encouraged everyone to do their part.

The prime minister plans to spend the break at Chequers with family, while the Conservative leader highlighted motherhood and the religious meaning of Christmas.
