What is The Big Tea?
The Big Tea is any kind of tea party organised in aid of Independent Age.
Whether you raise £2 or £200 this October, we are urging as many people as possible to join with us and have a cuppa for older people. Whether it's a tea for two, an afternoon tea with friends, or a tea break in the office, everybody is encouraged to support The Big Tea.
And what's more, it couldn't be easier or more fun to organise, as we'll give you everything you'll need to host a Big Tea, by providing you with a free Big Tea pack. So what better excuse to get together with friends and support older people in need?
How to get involved?
