St Philip’s Church in Webheath, Redditch was filled with the sound of chatter, laughter, and the clink of teacups as it hosted a special afternoon tea on Sunday for around 25 guests.
The event brought together local volunteers and members of Re-engage, a charity dedicated to reducing loneliness among older people.
Re-engage works to connect people who might otherwise feel isolated, offering regular social gatherings and the chance to form new friendships. Sunday’s event offered just that—a warm, welcoming space with plenty of tea, cake, and conversation.
“It was a lovely occasion", said Sarah Jayne, Vicar at St Phillip. "There was so much joy and connection in the room. We’re really glad to have been able to host this, and we’re already looking forward to welcoming Re-engage and the ladies back - hopefully in September.”
