Baby group to bring children and Knaresborough care home residents together
A baby group is being held at a Knaresborough care home in a bid to build community links between generations and combat loneliness.
Tiny Tots and Tea Cups will see elderly residents at The Manor House encouraged to sing and play with babies and toddlers.
Activities co-ordinator Katie Pickering is organising the free event with her colleague Joanne Meredith.
She was inspired after talking to a friend who had a lockdown baby, and also witnessing the positive effect of taking her children to visit her grandparents.

Katie put out a post on the Harrogate Mumbler Facebook page asking if anyone would be interested in attending.
Following a huge response, the first Tiny Tots and Tea Cups session will take place at The Manor House, Hambleton Grove, on Thursday, June 16, from 11am until 2pm.
Refreshments will be provided and there will also be baby toys and sensory items for the children, which have been cleaned and sterilised. Children up to pre-school age can attend and there is no need to book.
