A KIDDERMINSTER charity delivered a new programme designed to tackle loneliness and social isolation for older residents in the area.

Simply Limitless hosted an event as part of a county-wide Reconnections campaign at the open air market in Kidderminster on August 18.

Paul Raper, chief executive, said: "The charity took the opportunity to showcase their activities aimed at over 50s, including an exercise class and community singing.

"Passers-by were invited into the outside lounge with free cakes, coffee and tea and many people came in to chat on our sofa.

"If you are lonely or are feeling isolated and are over the age of 50 please do get in touch by phoning 01562 751144 or email info@simply-limitless.org. We are here to help."
