A TASTY festive treat was served up to senior citizens in Ringwood.
More than 120 over 60s in Ringwood came along to the annual lunch at Ringwood School, which is run entirely by sixth form students.
McCarthy and Stone, a developer of retirement apartments, donated £500 to the school to help cover the costs of food and gifts.
Claire Doolan of Ringwood School said: "We’ve been holding Christmas concerts for the older people within the community for the past nine years. It is a fantastic opportunity for the young people of the school to support their wider community. Our sixth form students are able to welcome the town’s senior generation to the school and spend an evening interacting with them.
"We feel sometimes the younger generations can be stereotyped and this is a way of showcasing our students who are really lovely young adults who enjoy spending time talking to their guests and sharing stories. We’re extremely grateful that McCarthy & Stone were able to support such a great cause."
