Abbeyfield East Devon is hosting an afternoon tea on June 12 to mark Loneliness Awareness Week.

Set to take place at Marjorie Baker House in Colyton from 2.30pm to 4.30pm, the event will serve home-made cakes, coffee, and tea, embracing Abbeyfield's mission to alleviate loneliness.

As part of the dual celebration of both Abbeyfield Week and Loneliness Awareness Week, people are encouraged to meet with old friends, make new friends, meet new people and connect.

Donations are welcome.
