For Re-Engage
As a tea party driver, you’ll collect one or two older guests from their homes, accompany them to the monthly tea party and drive them home again afterwards. The tea party will be at a venue in the local community each month and will include older guests, other volunteer drivers and the tea party group coordinator and hosts. Volunteering will be at a location near to you as we currently hold tea parties and are launching new tea parties throughout Surrey. Each tea party group usually last for around two hours and usually take place on a Sunday. Tea parties provide a lifeline of friendship for socially isolated or lonely older people. The warm, regular, and friendly companionship provides a vital link with the outside world from which they’ve become isolated.
