Host your own Communi-tea Party

As a nation of tea lovers, we know the power of a cuppa and conversation. From combating loneliness to bringing a smile to someone’s face, a cup of tea can make a huge difference on someone’s day. 

Why not be a part of this impact and host your very own Communi-tea Party? Grab your friends, loved ones, or even bring your whole community tea-gether and raise some funds as you enjoy a cuppa and a conversation!

The Difference Your Party Makes

Every Communi-Tea Party helps MHA support older people across the UK. Your fundraising will help:

  • Tackle loneliness and isolation in communities near you
  • Support older people with friendship, fun and memories
  • Improve the wellbeing of people living with dementia through music therapy

Every cup and every slice you share helps people to live later life well.

A Simple Way to Bring People Together

Hosting a Communi-Tea Party is easy and fun. Invite friends, neighbours, colleagues or family to join you for tea, cake and a good catch-up.

Your party can be as small or as big as you like. It can be held wherever you like, indoors, outdoors if the good-old British weather allows, or in a local community space. Guests can make a small donation to MHA while enjoying a cuppa, something sweet and the company of friends.

Every tea party helps support older people through MHA’s care homes, retirement living and community services.

Make It Your Own

There’s no right or wrong way to host a Communi-Tea Party.

Some people keep it simple with tea and homemade cake. Others enjoy games, raffles, quizzes or a bake-off to raise extra funds. You could even choose a theme and encourage guests to dress up. It's completely up to you.

The most important thing is creating a welcoming space where people can come together and enjoy themselves in good company (with cake) to raise funds for HMA Communities - that’s what an MHA Communi-Tea Party is all about.
