The Great British Chai Party has been co-founded by Kiran Bhanaut and Sushma Bhanot to help tackle loneliness and social isolation within our growing aged population in this country. Although there is lots of good work being done for the elderly this issue is still not fully addressed and our aim is to arrange the tea parties as a platform to help our elderly community.
Elderly people are still confined at home, sometimes never seeing anyone for weeks or even months. Their only connection to the outside world is TV. In spite of increased communication in the modern world, the elderly population are still isolated especially the ones who live alone and don’t much contact with friends, families and the outside world.
