Volunteers organise afternoon tea

Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin’s lovely team of Llandudno holiday volunteers would like to invite previous holidaymakers and older people in Telford and Shropshire to an afternoon tea in the new year.

Sadly, the Llandudno holiday has been cancelled the past two years, due to a hotel closure and the coronavirus pandemic. As there are still many uncertainties it has been decided that the holiday will not go ahead in 2022 either.

To remedy this, many of the volunteers got together recently to try to find a way of doing something to reunite some of the older people who have previously enjoyed the Llandudno holiday and also to invite new people in from the local area.

The group decided to arrange some outings next year, starting with an afternoon tea party at Shrewsbury Football Ground in April. The event will be open to all older people across Telford and Shropshire, not just those who holidayed with the group in the past.

There will be a small charge for the afternoon tea, and people wishing to attend will need to provide their own transport to the venue.

The volunteers hope you will look forward with them, to next year, and join them for their planned outings.

For more information, please call Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin on 01743 233 123 and leave a message and phone number for the Llandudno holiday volunteers who will gladly return your call.
