Time for Tea Social Groups

We are celebrating being awarded a grant from the National Lottery Community Fund to support our work with older people who are isolated and lonely.

Time for Tea events run throughout the district in shared public spaces such as supermarkets and shopping centres. This is an opportunity for older people to gather informally and enjoy refreshments in open areas they already visit, making it a regular drop-in event and providing passers-by with an easy opportunity to engage, feeling comfortable and safe. No doors to open, no closed rooms!

We have opened new ‘Time for Tea’ projects across the district and would like to thank the wonderful, caring people at various shopping venues who are really eager and happy to host our events. Our team of 3 staff will attend each event along with Age UK Wakefield District volunteers to chat, offer support and generally get to know people.

We hope the people who come along will build good relationships, develop new friendships and benefit from the support that Age UK Wakefield District has to offer at what we hope will be happy, relaxed get togethers.

So if you see us whilst out shopping, come and say hello!
