Tesco colleagues in Wells have been working hard to bring smiles and support to residents by teaming up with the Lawrence Centre, a charity committed to enriching the lives of older people.

Led by Caleb Baker, Tesco's community champion, and service manager Karen Bevan, the Tesco colleagues prepared a tasty pasta bolognese and sweetened the deal with delicious Ms Molly Jam Eclairs for the Lawrence Centre's service-users.

This heartwarming meal cooked using Aldi Price Match products, as well as a bag of goodies for each member, demonstrated Tesco's commitment to community support.

Caleb said: "It's remarkable how food brings us together. Creating this meal for the Lawrence Centre was our way of saying we're here not just as a retailer but as an ally to our neighbours."

Tesco also supported the centre's annual Christmas community lunch, donating food that helped serve more than 80 people across four days of celebrations, and organised a tombola, ensuring each member received a small gift during the festive season.

Maggie Charlesworth, Manager at the Lawrence Centre, added: "We would like to thank Tesco for cooking lunch. Our members thoroughly enjoyed it, and Caleb and Karen made a brilliant team of chefs. Our members were over the moon with the meal, and the generosity of Tesco is heartening. The support they continue to give really shines a light on the difference community-focused efforts can make."

The Lawrence Centre welcomes support from the community. Whether you have experience working with older people or are looking to get involved for the first time, there are various opportunities available, including volunteer roles and paid positions such as Session Leaders and Outreach Workers.
