A PRESSURE group for pensioners has been officially launched with an official cake-cutting ceremony.

'Action for Pensioners' was promoted to a packed audience at Saltford Community Hall earlier this month.

Audrey Cloet, the newly-elected chairman of the group, said: "This is a really exciting new venture which is already making an impact locally.

"We are looking forward to many older people in the area joining us, together we can really make a difference.

Audrey Cloet, chairman of 'Action for Pensioners', is pictured at the ceremonial cake-cutting with local farmer and poet John Osborn and chairman of B&NES, Cllr Bryan Organ.

Action for Pensioners is also looking for somebody with artistic skills to produce its own logo.
