Caistor Cares hosts party for senior citizens

Caistor Cares was launched earlier this year with a commemorative party for the Queen’s 90th birthday.

The community volunteering network is aimed at reducing social isolation.

Its latest event at the town hall brought together a wide and varied selection of talented performers from the town’s active community, who gave up their time to enthrall the town’s senior residents with a festive-themed programme.

Performances included a duet by Pearl McCann and Alice Morton, as well as a ukelele band of children from Caistor Primary School, the Caistor Angels.

From the grammar school, there was a sing-a-long led by Katie and Ellie Robey, with three festive favourites from Robert Hewis.

Caistor Ladies Choir also performed and there was a rousing finale from the band The O’Claires.

Caistor Cares works in close association with the charity Friendship at Home.
