FLINTSHIRE residents and volunteers were treated to a Christmas lunch and a party at Tesco’s Mold superstore.

Many of the residents came from the Nant Mawr Court sheltered housing scheme in Buckley for older people, managed by Clwyd Alyn Housing Association.

They were joined by local volunteers who help out in Mold and the surrounding area for meal and a party at the supermarket last week.

Louise Blackwell, community development officer with Clwyd Alyn, said: “Claire Parry, Tesco’s wonderful Community Champion, was a brilliant host. Our residents really look forward to this event which makes Christmas a really special time.

“It is events like this that make a big difference in terms of preventing or alleviating loneliness and isolation – which can have a very adverse impact on people’s mental health.

“Claire and the whole Tesco Team were absolutely wonderful we can’t thank them enough.”
