Group Coordinator for Monthly Redhill Tea Party Group!

At Re-engage we help to reduce loneliness in later life through free services for older people. One way we do this is with our wonderful monthly tea party in Redhill.

Do you enjoy being organised and problem solving or maybe you are a great communicator? Do you have skills you would love to use in a vital volunteering role in your local community to help reduce loneliness and isolation in older people?

A tea party group coordinator it is a vital role in our tea parties and things you will be planning monthly tea parties and liaising with volunteers as well as older people. There will fun opportunities to socialise at the event as well as help with us to solve any problems that arise.

Each tea party lasts for around two hours on a monthly Sunday afternoon and are held in amazing tea party hosts homes, which rotate each month.  

Tea parties are a great monthly fun event a space for likeminded people to get together and help reduce loneliness within your local community. 

Some of the things you could be doing: - Welcoming and supporting new volunteers into the tea party group so they can start volunteering with confidence. - Welcoming new older guests to the tea party group and contacting them before their first tea party group so that they feel welcome and comfortable. - Matching older guests to volunteer drivers, so the same drivers collect and drop off the same older guests each month. - Keeping in contact with the tea party group older guests and volunteers, and sharing any updates. 

This is a fun, flexible and rewarding role and could use your amazing skills freely!
