Leighton Buzzard Tea Party Driver
Re-engage
Help brighten the lives of older people who might otherwise spend their Sundays alone.
As a tea party driver, you’ll collect older guests from their homes, accompany them to the tea party and drive them home again afterwards. The tea party will be at a different volunteer host’s home and will include older guests, other volunteer drivers and the tea party group coordinator. Our tea parties are normally once a month on a Sunday afternoon and usually last for two hours. Tea parties provide a lifeline of friendship for socially isolated or lonely older people. The warm, regular, and friendly companionship provides a vital link with the outside world from which they’ve become isolated. We’re looking for tea party drivers who have: Safe driving skills Good planning and organisational skills A friendly nature Good listening & conversation skills Patience and understanding A passion for improving the lives of lonely and isolated older people
