About this role

LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS WHO LIVE IN LE1, LE2 ,LE3, LE4 AND LE5 POSTCODE AREAS!!

The number of older guests attending your tea party will be confirmed by the group coordinator prior to the group meeting so you have plenty of time to plan. It is important for the older guests to have access to a downstairs toilet. They will also require seating; a combination of lounge chairs and hard back chairs is fine. Don’t worry if you don’t have chairs for all the drivers as they will be circulating and helping you if required, so you can enjoy the afternoon too. A lot of stairs can present problems, although just a few steps are usually manageable. You will be volunteering for around two hours plus setting up time once or twice a year.

Time commitment: hosting one to two tea parties a year but more if willing!
