Vintage Afternoon Teas
We want to help ageing adults stay healthy, happy and connected, and reduce loneliness. Our Vintage Afternoon Teas are just one way we are reaching out to home alone seniors.
Reaching out to seniors
Every month we run a regular Vintage Afternoon Tea for elderly residents who are at risk of social isolation. Keeping our communities connected, especially seniors, is something we are passionate about at Home Instead. The teas give people who might otherwise find it difficult to get out and about, the chance to do so safely with support. They help seniors make new friends, hear about other opportunities to socialise through local activities, clubs and support networks. Our aim is to work together to create a local community where no one is lonely or isolated.
These events are made possible thanks to our wonderful volunteer drivers and our partner organisations including The Frinton Rotary Club, Frinton Links Golf Club, Parkers Garden Company, Clacton Bowls Club, Homelands Church and Frinton Gospel Chapel. We’ve also been lucky enough to gain some funding from Home Instead Charities to support the cost of hall hires and catering.
If you are interested in supporting these wonderful events that make such a difference to our senior residents, we are always looking for more people to join our wonderful team of volunteers. You offer as much or as little time as you can spare but must be able to drive and have access to a car. Or perhaps you run a local business with a venue that would be perfect to host an event? Of if you live locally and struggle to get out or feel isolated and would like to find out how to apply to become a guest please contact either Alex Webb or Jo Thorne on 01255 672269.
