Monday Morning Tea for Seniors

What Makes This Morning Tea Special

Seniors in Hawke's Bay look forward to a relaxed weekly gathering that blends light refreshments with genuine social connection. This long-running morning tea programme offers a welcoming space where participants can choose their own level of involvement. Activities range from hands-on crafts and board games to group quizzes, guest speakers and occasional bingo sessions, yet everything remains optional. Many simply enjoy a friendly chat or work on their knitting alongside others who share similar interests.

Having operated for over thirty years, the sessions continue to provide a steady rhythm of companionship and mental stimulation. The programme now operates under Age Concern Napier, maintaining its community focus while ensuring a supportive environment for older adults. Attendees value the chance to stay active socially without pressure, building friendships that extend beyond the venue. ☕ Regular weekly Monday meetings create a reliable routine that helps reduce isolation and keeps minds engaged through varied, enjoyable pastimes.
