As a tea party host, you’ll help to support a tea party in a community venue for older people. This involves socialising with older people and other volunteers, getting drinks for others at the tea party.

Each tea party group is once a month, usually last for around two hours and normally take place on a Sunday afternoon. We have regular and new tea parties launching throughout Surrey, so you are able to volunteer within your local community.

Tea parties provide a lifeline of friendship for socially isolated or lonely older people. It is also an opportunity to give back to your local community and meet like minded people.
