More than 100 festive meals were delivered in the lead-up to Christmas by Tesco colleagues in Wells.

The special deliveries were made to the Lawrence Centre in the city, which supports older people, including those with memory loss or health issues.

Caleb Baker, community champion and shift lead at Tesco’s Wells superstore, said: "It’s a real privilege to be part of this initiative.

"It brings so much joy to so many people at this special time of the year.

"There was a special party atmosphere at the centre and everyone really enjoyed their food.

"As well as the meals we donated and prepared, we contributed prizes to a raffle, which was lots of fun.

"The volunteers at the Lawrence Centre do such an incredible job, providing a social, supportive and activity-filled environment while also combating isolation and supporting family carers.

"So we were delighted to help out in the run-up to Christmas.

"We all had a great time and it’s a memory that’ll always stay with me."

The centre, located at 37 Chamberlain Street, offers weekday activities and one Saturday session each month.

It provides transport and activities such as crafts, games and cultural celebrations, helping members to relax, socialise and stay engaged.
