A LEOMINSTER care home will be celebrating older people next week as part of UK Older People’s Day.

Leominster Residential and Nursing Home is hosting afternoon tea with music between 2.30pm and 4.30pm on October 5.

Monica Hartley, manager of the Bupa-owned Bargates home, said: “UK Older People’s Day is a great chance to bring communities together and celebrate later life.

“A lifetime of achievement and experience is something to be valued and we think it’s really important to appreciate the role that older people play in our communities.

“Anyone who wants to come along and join us will be guaranteed a warm welcome.”
