On 16th June the Great British Chai Party held their second get together at Acton Asian Association. Guests included Rupa Huq MP and Cllr Hitesh Tailor and members of the local community.

The Chai Party was launched during the International Women’s Day Event on Monday 6th March, 2017 at the House of Commons and was co-founded by Kiran Bhanaut and Sushma Bhanot.

The organisation aims to address loneliness and social isolation amongst the elderly by arranging regular tea parties of small groups of elderly people in different areas.

It also hopes to provide a purpose for a more meaningful life for our elderly and help facilitate friendships in the elderly and something for them to look forward to.
