Activity and Social Groups

Do you know someone who could benefit from a monthly outing?

Contact the Elderly are a national charity who organise free monthly tea parties for older guests, and are currently looking for guests for a new group in Scunthorpe. Guests are collected by a volunteer driver and accompanied to tea in a volunteer host’s home for tea, cake, sandwiches and a good chat!

The group of guests and volunteers is the same each month meaning that over time some lovely friendships develop.

Older guests are aged 75 or over, live alone (including in sheltered housing), and either struggle to get out or have become a bit isolated for other reasons.

To find out more or refer a guest please visit our website or email
