Harlow Tea Party Driver
You will be redirected to the Volunteer Essex website to express your interest.
Bring smiles, stories, and company to someone\'s Sunday.
As a tea party driver, you\'ll help bring older guests to life\'s sweetest gatherings - our monthly tea parties!
You\'ll collect guests from their homes, enjoy the drive and a good natter along the way, and make sure everyone gets home safely afterwards.
Each month, a different volunteer host in Basildon kindly opens their home for a friendly get-together filled with tea, cake and good conversation. You\'ll be part of a small, welcoming team that includes other drivers and a group coordinator - all there to make the afternoon special for our guests.
Our tea parties usually last around two hours on a Sunday afternoon, but the joy and friendship they bring can last so much longer. For many older people, these gatherings are a lifeline - a chance to reconnect, share stories, and feel part of the community again.
What skills do I need?
Our tea party drivers are the friendly faces who help make the magic happen every month. You\'ll make sure older guests get to and from the tea parties safely - but you\'ll also bring so much more than that: reassurance, conversation and connection.
You just need a kind heart, a safe pair of hands, and a love of good company.
