Two dozen senior citizens were guests at the lunch to celebrate a three-year hook-up between the charity Age UK — The Sun’s Christmas campaign partner last year — and homeware retailer Dunelm.
Nitin, who attends bingo and exercise sessions at his local Age UK centre, added: “Age UK are very helpful in providing support and information.
Sun readers raised money for Age UK over the festive season and now Dunelm aims to kick in £2million from food and drink sales at its in-store Pausa cafes, as well as carrier-bag sales, customer donations and fundraisers.
How kind Sun readers’ cash helped keep OAPs hit by Labour’s hated winter fuel cut warm this winter IT was tea, sandwiches and laughs aplenty at a party to celebrate a new partnership offering year-round social gatherings and practical help to the elderly.
Dunelm will support Age UK’s longstanding work combatting elderly isolation by laying on get-togethers, singalongs and exercise classes as well as telephone advice and friendship services.
