Free tea party to celebrate older people on silver Sunday

Ashley Lodge Bupa Care Home in New Milton is supporting this year’s silver Sunday - a national day of free fun and activities for older people across the UK - by holding a Mad Hatter's tea party for older members of the local community, along with their family and friends.

The Mad Hatter’s tea party will take place on Sunday 6 October between 2 and 4 pm when guests can enjoy live music from local singers, Catherine and Peter, who will be performing songs from over the years as well as a cream tea and Pimm’s.

Silver Sunday aims to tackle the loneliness and isolation felt by many older people by providing social activities to encourage them to get out, try new things and meet new people. It also celebrates the value and knowledge that they bring to our communities.

Jessica Rolfe, home manager at Ashley Lodge, said: “We know loneliness is a growing issue for older people. It’s great that we are in a position to support Silver Sunday by holding social events at our care homes across the country, to offer older members of our community somewhere they can enjoy a fun activity in the company of others. I know our residents are looking forward to welcoming some new faces on the day.”
