Tea party group coordinators can either call or visit older people and volunteers joining their tea party group to discuss and arrange the practical arrangements.

Re-engage values equality and our tea parties are open to all older people over the age of 75 who are experiencing loneliness, social isolation, or who are in need of companionship.

On very rare occasions a tea party group coordinator may discover something through their initial call or visit to an older person or volunteer that wasn’t previously known, and which may prevent them from joining a tea party group. If this happens, please contact the Re-engage team at knowledge@reengage.org.uk.

Mileage to visit new volunteers or older guests before they join the tea party group. Tea party group coordinators must log mileage on their claim form and calculate the amount claimed at 45p per mile.

Stationery and stamps to communicate information to volunteers and older guests in your tea party group.

Telephone calls to older guests. Please remember that you must send us itemised phone bills.
