Tea party host
Re-engage
As a tea party host, you'll host a tea party in your home once or twice a year providing refreshments for the older guests, volunteer drivers and the tea party group coordinator.
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. The tasks include: Welcoming older people and volunteers into your home and making them feel comfortable. Safely preparing and serving refreshments for the tea party group. Ensuring that your home is safe and accessible for the tea party group. Following the guidance in the online volunteer training so that the tea parties are safe, enjoyable, appropriate and in line with our charitable aims. Keeping in regular contact with the tea party group coordinator so they know when you're available to host, and so you know how many people to expect and if there are any dietary requirements. Reporting any concerns to the tea party group coordinator. Keeping your knowledge and training up to date by reading our monthly volunteer newsletter "Re-engage Matters".
