Over 65? Come for tea – and bring a pal!

Enjoy afternoon tea at Friday’s Big Chinwag and help raise money to combat loneliness

LOOP Big Chinwag

We’re joining the mother of all natters this Friday to raise money to help lonely older people in Scotland and hope people aged 65+ can join us! 

We all enjoy getting together for a good chat with friends, family or colleagues, but sadly 1 in 6 people over the age of 65 in Scotland feel cut off from society. Many older people can go for a month without seeing or speaking to anyone and this just isn’t right.

Please come along to Out of the Blue at The Old Drill Hall on Friday for our afternoon tea and natter – it will be great fun and you’ll be helping Age Scotland tackle loneliness in later life. 

Thank you so much and hope to see you all there! 

£3.50 entry, everyone welcome.
