St Paul's Centre Hosts First Big Bad Tea Party


Afternoon of lively entertainment for 250 older people

St Paul's Centre in Hammersmith is hosting the inaugural Big Bad Tea Party this Saturday, October 8 from 1pm till 5pm, offering a memorable day out for some older members of the community most in need of a social outing.

The afternoon promises lively entertainment including a swing band, professional dancers and a raffle.

New Fulham-based community interest company ABLE and national charity Contact the Elderly are organising the event and have invited 250 older people, living on their own in Hammersmith and Fulham and surrounding areas, to attend.

Contact the Elderly’s chief executive Mary Rance says: "We are always thrilled to see events raising awareness of the issue of loneliness and social isolation amongst older people.

"We hope more older people in Hammersmith & Fulham and many other communities will discover free services like ours are available to them in the borough."

The tea party will also feature delectable tea and cakes supplied by Fiona Cairns, cake maker for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding, and will be set against a backdrop of images from the 1950s and 1960s projected onto a large cinema screen.
