TWO friends who set up Hope Tea to tackle loneliness among the elderly are inviting residents to help by donating Christmas presents for older people.

Hayley Roberts and Emma Davis set up the organization after seeing the John Lewis man on the moon advert in 2015 which raised the issue of isolation at Christmas.

The dedicated pair were determined to help and since they started Hope Tea, they have delivered gifts to more than 500 people across the town.

This year Hayley and Emma will host a gift wrapping event at The Golden Fleece pub in Lymm on November 25 from 12pm and anyone can drop by to donate presents for the elderly.
