1. Prior Bank care home in Sheffield have recently started running a project called Spare Chair Sunday. What does Spare Chair Sunday involve?

Local people who would otherwise be on their own can come along to Prior Bank for Sunday lunch.

Emergency services personnel can pop in to the care home for a bacon sandwich on Sunday mornings.

I can't comment on the truth or otherwise of the La-Z-Boys or speed dating.
Other care homes run the bacon sandwiches for emergency services, but Prior Bank's project is aimed at welcoming local people for Sunday lunch, as explained by the home manager:
“Sunday lunch is a special meal for a lot of people, a time when they come together with friends and family. We wanted to extend the invitation to our older neighbours so they could enjoy a fresh, warm, home-cooked meal and friendly company with us. We called our offer of lunch Spare Chair Sunday."

2. There was a new snooker World Champion crowned at the weekend, with the (mis)fortune to share his surname with a current world leader - what's the name?

Jinping

Trump

A bit risky putting Teresa May on a list of current world leaders, but the answer is Trump - Judd Trump won his first World Championship beating John Higgins 18-9 in the final, and Donald Trump won his first presidential election in 2016 by getting 3 million votes less than Hilary Clinton.
Kim Jong-un is yet to start his snooker career.
