Communi-Tea Circle help elderly individuals who have no family nearby and suffer from isolation & loneliness because they rarely go out, socialise or receive visitors.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
We are a small charity promoting and co-ordinating member tea parties and other events within local community venues and volunteer homes. Primarily based in the Upminster and Hornchurch area and working with community venues such as church halls, local restaurants, pubs and cafes. We also have a network of volunteers who host in their own homes.
Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)
You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:
-
policy on grantmaking;
-
policy programme related investment;
-
contribution made by volunteers.
We currently host events on a Sunday lunchtime once a month and on a Monday evening in a pub once a month. Our plan is to extend the frequency as our network of members, venues and volunteers increases. We coordinate a network of DBS verified volunteer drivers and a network of host volunteers. The drivers collect and return our members to and from their homes to enable them to attend an event and the hosts open up their homes and offer to provide a hot meal or afternoon tea for a group of members.
Our Plan
We want to be able to continue to raise funds and expand our network and referrals to enable us to alleviate loneliness for more people, increase the venues we work with and increase the number of events we can host.
We welcome any referrals for either members who wish to benefit from our events and both volunteer drivers or hosts.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Communi-Tea Circle Managed to host 2 events for our members every month during this financial year including a Christmas party at a local FireStation. This amounts to 24 events in the year.
We have continued to focus on recruiting volunteer drivers and some hosts and venue partnerships. We have continued to develop our team and recruited 2 additional volunteers who help us co-ordinate and run the bi monthly events, in essence matching drivers to members and coordinating attendance numbers with the hosts or venues.
We have slowly improved our social media presence, but recognise we need more help in this area. We are also still working on a fully fledged website launch date. This has been delayed due to lack of time and focus but we expect to be able to do it within 3-6 months.

Section E Financial review
Brief statement of the Reserves as at 31[st] March 2023 is £20,000 charity’s policy on reserves Currently as the charity is still relatively young we know we need to pay for future website development, fund raising activities and subsidised member events (ie restaurant evenings) and our policy is to agree our priorities each quarter. We have a desire to run more and bigger events, reaching more people in the community but have struggled to recruit more driver and host volunteers to support those efforts. We are seeing the cost of delivering events is increasing as prices continue to rise. The Trustees continue to review the appropriate reserve levels whilst we anticipate fundraising will become more difficult due to the economic environment. Details of any funds materially N/A in deficit
