  1. Reengage (formerly Contact the Elderly) is the only national charity solely dedicated to tackling loneliness and social isolation among older people through face to face contact.

    Supported by a network of volunteers, the charity organises monthly Sunday afternoon tea parties for small groups of older people, aged 75 and over, who live alone. Offering a regular and vital friendship link every month.

    Each older person is collected from their home by a volunteer driver and taken to a volunteer host’s home for the afternoon.

    In Kirklees tea parties are currently held in Batley and Huddersfield.
