Organisers. Halton Borough Council’s Sure Start to Later Life, holds regular tea socials event 2nd Monday of the month, from 1pm to 4pm, from February to November.
For £5 there is live entertainment and food and drinks served to the table. There are places for 100 people, and every effort is made so each event is special, with table decoration and themes throughout the year.

Here are some of the positive comments from previous events.
“The Get together helps me get my husband away from the TV and gives me a chance to have other people to talk to, would miss it if it had to stop”.
“I lost my husband in 2015 and it took me a long time to pull myself together thanks to you this helps”
“Stops isolation, make friends and something to look forward to. Everyone is very friendly and it is nice to come in have a chat and a little dance!
“Had a positive effect on my life – meeting people, getting fresh air, keeps everything working”
