A CARE home in Himley is hosting a free tea dance this weekend.
Himley Mill Bupa Care Home is hosting the event in support of this year's Silver Sunday - a national day of free fun and activities for older people across the UK.
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.
The event will take place on Sunday (October 1) from 2pm and will include a tea dance with dancers from The Zig Zag Dance Factory in Wolverhampton, a live singer and traditional afternoon tea.
James Bradford, manager at the School Road home, 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 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.”
