Are you reliable and friendly? Would you like to meet like minded people and give back to your local community? As a tea party driver, you’ll collect an older guest from their home, socialise and enjoy the monthly tea party and drive them home again afterwards. The tea party will be at a venue in the local community each month or at volunteer hosts houses and will include older guests, other volunteer drivers and the tea party group coordinator and hosts. Each tea party group usually last for around two hours and usually take place on a Sunday. You will be able to volunteer in Woking or a town near you. Tea parties provide a great monthly event where people can come together in the community and have fun socialising, while feeling the positive benefits of giving back.
