Humza Yousaf serves early Christmas dinner to elderly in Dundee

HUMZA Yousaf served an early Christmas dinner to elderly people in Dundee.

The First Minister was put to work by Dundee United’s Community Trust to serve soup, turkey and pudding to football fans at Tannadice Park on Sunday.

The event was run in conjunction with the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL)’s Festive Friends project.

It comes as the First Minister delivered his Christmas message, where he thanked frontline workers for their efforts during the “challenging year”.

Speaking during the event in Dundee, Yousaf said he was “delighted” to support the initiative which sought to support those at risk of isolation.

He told the PA news agency: “I’m delighted to be at Tannadice Park where Dundee United and their community trust have put on a festive lunch, predominantly for those who are suffering from isolation and loneliness which we know is a real problem at any time of year, but particularly now for so many people.”
