There will be glad rags galore a Sanctuary care home in Worcester, as residents and staff welcome all to a vintage "Time for a Cuppa" tea party.

The event will take place on Tuesday March 3, between 10am and 4pm.

People from the local community will be invited along to the residential care home in School Road, St John's, to enjoy for a fundraising tea party for Dementia UK.

The homes activities leader Bridie Gray said: The team and our residents love an excuse to get their glad rags on to support a good cause, so we thought a vintage themed Time for a Cuppa event would be perfect way to raise money for Dementia UK.

Our chef will be baking some delicious treats, so we would love to see some new and familiar faces at our event to support our fundraising efforts.

Staff will be dressed from top to toe in their fabulous 1950s finery, with polka dot dresses and neckerchiefs galore.

There will be vintage crockery and bunting plus an abundance of mouth-watering cakes in return for a donation to the charity.

Between 11am and noon singer John Estelle will be entertaining the residents and guests with music from the era.

Time for a Cuppa is Dementia UKs annual fundraising event; a national day which brings people together over a cuppa to raise money for the provision of Admiral Nurses, specialist dementia nurses who provide care, advice and support to the loved ones of people living with dementia.

Amy Cudmore, Community Fundraiser at Dementia UK said: There are currently 140 Admiral Nurses in the UK to support families living with the effects of dementia, which simply isnt enough. Dementia UK is striving to increase the number of Admiral Nurses by 50 per cent, by the end of 2016, to support the growing number of families affected by dementia.
