About us
Contact the Elderly have been successfully organising tea party groups for over 50 years. Many older people are living alone and experience life changes such as illness, retirement or the loss of a partner. They may find themselves increasingly isolated and may not actually speak to anyone for long periods of time. The negative impacts of loneliness on health and well-being are profound , and UK demographics indicate that we have an increasingly aging population. Tea party groups have a demonstrably beneficial impact on older guests giving them something to look forward to and enabling them to develop friendships and enjoy the company of others. Guests talk about how much they enjoy the tea parties and how the regular social interaction gives them a new sense of self worth. We know that there are many more older people who could benefit from our tea party groups and that developing new groups throughout he UK would help us address this demand.
