THE latest tea party for lonely and vulnerable people in Thurrock organised by the Re-engage charity took place over the weekend.

Local co-ordinator Loraine Coleman says: "A lovely tea party took place today for the Thurrock 2 group who were treated to a delicious, scrumptious tea all home made by our lovely volunteer host Dorothy Goldsmith.

"Thank you so much Dorothy. Always enjoy seeing our tea party guests happily chatting away. Thank you to Ira, Pip and Paula for driving our guests today."
