Herne Bay & Whitstable Tea Party Host
Re-engage
Do you love a good chat over a cuppa? Then you'd make a wonderful Tea Party Host!
Our monthly tea parties are a lifeline for people aged 75 and over who feel cut off from their community. An afternoon of tea, cake and conversation can make the world of difference - and that's where you come in. As a volunteer host, you'll open your home (or a local community space) once or twice a year to welcome a small group of local people - usually between 4-12, including older people, volunteer drivers and a group coordinator.

Listening, Talking To Others
We're looking for friendly, welcoming people who enjoy chatting and making others feel at home. You'll need to be able to plan a relaxed get-together and make sure everyone feels included, someone who loves hearing people's stories and maybe sharing a few of your own, understanding that some guests may need a little extra time and support and for everyone's comfort and safety, your home should have easy access and a downstairs toilet available for guests.
Make a real difference and brighten someone's day, enjoy heart-warming conversations and build new friendships. It's a small commitment that has a big impact - plus we'll give you lots of support and encouragement along the way.
