Time for Tea Social Groups

Come along for a cuppa and a chat with Time for Tea!

Our Time for Tea events take place across Wakefield District in familiar, welcoming public spaces, such as supermarkets and shopping centres. They’re a relaxed and friendly opportunity for older people to enjoy a cuppa, have a chat and meet others while visiting places they already know.

There’s no need to book, no doors to knock on and no closed rooms to walk into – just a warm welcome, a friendly face and the chance to stop by whenever you fancy!

We’re delighted to have launched new Time for Tea events across the district and would like to say a big thank you to the wonderful, caring teams at our host venues who have been so welcoming and enthusiastic about supporting our events.

At each event, our team, alongside Age UK Wakefield District volunteers, will be on hand for a friendly chat, a listening ear and practical support. Whether you have questions about benefits, need help with energy suppliers, would like support with a Blue Badge application or simply fancy a chat and a cuppa, we’re here to help.

We hope Time for Tea will bring people together, help build new friendships and make it easier for older people to access the advice, information and support available from Age UK Wakefield District – all in a relaxed, informal and friendly setting.

So, if you spot us while you’re out shopping, please come over and say hello! We’d love to meet you, have a chat and put the kettle on.

We welcome your feedback and ideas to help in the development of future newsletters, let us know what you would like to see in our next edition and we will do what we can to accommodate those ideas.
