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.
Every month we run a series of regular Vintage Afternoon Teas for home alone seniors. Keeping our communities connected, especially seniors, is an ethos we are passionate about at Home Instead. The teas give people who might 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, and the different activities and support services available locally. 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 Golf Club, Parkers Garden Company, Homelands Church and . 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 new volunteers, and organisations to partner with. 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 Community Engagement Officer, Jo Thorne on 01255 672269.
