tea party for elderly residents – part of the WRVS Big Brew project @ Thomas Hardye School

On Monday April 29th in the Quiet Common Room (part of Thomas Hardye sixth form centre).

Forty year 12s from Thomas Hardye School will be at hand to help at this session. A great opportunity for FreeTime volunteers to work with the students to capture some intergeneration discussion around their leisure time. This would happen during the second part of the tea party.

The format the school has set is

1.30 arrive, meet and greet, everyone sit at horshoe shaped table

1.45-2.15 Singalong, speeches

2.15-3.30 tea party and chatting – this would be a time for interviews which could be conducted in a quiet room nearby if necessary.
