Make it tea for two on Valentine’s Day

LOVE could be in the air at an upcoming Valentine’s Day-themed event at Grangeway Community Centre in Runcorn.

Organisers Sure Start To Later Life holds regular ‘Grangeway Get Together’ tea social gatherings for older residents on the second Monday of every month between February and Novem- ber. Although usually on from 1-4pm, the February 12 event is 2-4pm.

For £5, there is live entertainment and food and drinks served to the table.

A Halton Borough Council spokesman said there are 100 places and staff make every effort to make each event special, with seasonal table decorations and themes around the year.

He said transport included.

The spokesman said past visi- is not tors to the Get Together have made comments praising it such as ‘The Get Together helps me get my husband away from the TV and gives me a chance to have other people to talk to, would miss it if it had to stop’, ‘I lost my husband in 2015 and it took me a long time to pull myself together thanks to you this helps’, and ‘stops isolation, make friends and something to look forward to – everyone is very friendly and it is nice to come in have a chat and a little dance’.

Cllr Marie Wright (health and wellbeing, Halton Borough Council) said: “Everyone is made to feel very welcome.

“It’s a great way to make new friends, with lots of fun and laughter, singing and, if people want to, they can have a dance.”
