HE NOSE IT: Nick Hancock joins Brenda Wornham, Val Johns and June Tuck at Droitwich Age Concern.

TV funnyman and presenter Nick Hancock dropped in to visit a town project which has been helped by Comic Relief Nick joined regulars at Age Concern Droitwich Spa last Thursday because he wanted to look at one of the causes Comic Relief has reached.

Spa Age Concern received £5,000 to help create a healthy living course for some of the area's elderly people, who may otherwise be lacking in nutrition and other important ingredients for a healthier life.

Nick, who is famous for presenting sport quiz show They Think It's All Over, said: "Here in Droitwich, I have to say, was one of the finest cups of tea I've ever had. It is wonderful to see how much the people enjoy it at the project. This course has only been going for four years and since it started the people who've graduated from it have set up their own group of people and they all meet up as well.

"I think it helps to keep the community alive, it keeps people active and gives them lots of advice to make life easier.

"It's a wonderful place with free cups of tea and wonderful lunches. I've had a super time meeting lots of lovely people.," he added.

Talking about Comic Relief and the work the charity does, Nick said: "I think one of the interesting things that people often don't realise about Red Nose Day is that 40 per cent of the money is spent here in the UK and since it started in 1995 more than £7million has been spent in the West Midlands.

"It has been spent on over 400 projects, even tiny ones like this health project here for Age Concern in Droitwich.

"There are so many things that people can do to get involved in the big day before March 16," he added.
