Older Bretton residents given cream tea treat as lockdown eases

100 older Bretton residents received a special cream tea this weekend as lockdown began to ease.

The gesture was organised by a group of Bretton organisations which normally provide community activities for older people in the area.

The cream teas were supplied by Fisher’s Treats - a food delivery company based in Bretton which was founded during the lockdown by resident Rob Fisher.

Marie Ousby, a resident who received a cream tea, said: "I’ve had to shield for weeks because of underlying health conditions, not going out has made this a particularly difficult time for me.

"I have been able to meet my friends on the online coffee morning and we have a good laugh which cheers me up. We also got to play bingo and have a disco online, which was lots of fun. It’s been good to know support is there if I need it."
