Shrewsbury pre-school group invites pensioners to festive party

A mother and toddler group in Shropshire invited local pensioners to its Christmas party.

Organiser Annie Hambley said she was inspired by the Channel 4 programme "Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds".

The party was held at Shrewsbury Baptist Church Central, and supported by Age UK.

The charity published research suggesting nearly one million older people feel lonelier at Christmas.
