Tea parties are gonna be held all next week at care homes in Burnham, Clevedon and Portishead - as part of a national campaign to tackle the problems of loneliness and isolation in older people.

Communi-Tea Week is a project run by Bupa.

Research from Age UK says a million over-65s in the UK only see close friends or family once a month.

Burnham Nursing and Residential Centre manager Frances Roberts says anyone who wants to go along and enjoy a cuppa and some entertainment is welcome.
