Over the last six years, Contact the Elderly has started 15 new tea party groups across Bristol. Once a month on a Sunday, small groups of volunteers and older guests get together for an afternoon of tea, cake and companionship. Just a couple of hours really does make a big difference to everyone’s weekend.
Contact the Elderly are currently working on new groups in the Stockwood and Avonmouth areas, but are in urgent need of new volunteers. They especially require volunteers to act as drivers and reserve drivers who help out when a regular can’t.
If you would like to find out more about volunteering, or refer an older guest (usually 75 and over) to a group, please contact Helen: 01225 873812 or helen.ker@contact-the-elderly.org.uk
