Could you offer tea and cake to a group of lonely OAPs?
A CHARITY which provides a lifeline to lonely OAPs has made an urgent appeal for 25 new volunteers.
Contact the Elderly provides tea parties for the elderly run by volunteers in their own homes.
The charity is looking for hosts and drivers to boost existing groups in West and South Glasgow, Dumbarton, Cardross and North Lanarkshire.
It is also hoping to launch a new group in Newton Mearns.
