The event aimed to celebrate older people in the area and offer a fun, social afternoon in a supportive environment.
The centre , which welcomes more than 150 residents each week, plays a crucial role in tackling loneliness by providing hot meals and a variety of activities. Events like this , organisers say, offer a vital lifeline for those who might otherwise feel isolated.
