Can you spare 4 hours a month on a Sunday afternoon to drive our elderly guest to their monthly tea party?
If you enjoy tea and cake and would like to help make a difference to the lives of the local elderly community, then look no further!
ReEngage organises monthly Sunday afternoon tea parties for isolated older people who live alone and find it difficult to get out and about themselves. The older person is collected from their home each month by a volunteer driver and taken to a volunteer host’s home or community venue where they meet with a small group for tea, chat and companionship.
Our monthly Sunday afternoon tea parties are a vital lifeline for our older guests offering a regular friendship link and companionship. Our tea parties bring people of all ages together, develop fulfilling friendships and support networks.
The volunteer drivers usually pick up the same designated guest which means that over the months and years, acquaintances turn into friends and loneliness and isolation is replaced with companionship.
Can you spare just 4 hours a month on a Sunday afternoon to drive our elderly guest to and from their monthly tea party? With such a small time commitment, our volunteering opportunities are perfect for those who lead busy lives but are looking to give something back to the local community.
We are looking for friendly, sociable volunteer drivers to bring our elderly guests to and from their monthly tea party.
