A CARE company has launched a free speed dating event for over-65s.
It is being put on by the Winchester branch of Everycare and is designed to give attendees the chance to meet new people and create friendships while enjoying tea, coffee and cake.
Mike Frizzell, managing director of the national care firm, said: “Everycare recognise that having an active social life helps to keep you healthy and stimulated and this is especially important for those over 65 who might find themselves less integrated into the community after retiring from work.
“We wanted to bring back the opportunity to meet like-minded individuals in the community, but putting a young twist on it. After all, we always feel the same age on the inside.”
The session is at Winchester Discovery Centre on Wednesday, March 18, from 1pm-3pm.
