VOLUNTEERS and guests enjoyed another afternoon tea event this week, organised by Thurrock branch of the Re-engage charity which supports elderly, lonely and vulnerable people in the borough.
Members of Re-engage Thurrock were treated to tea at the offices of Balfour Beatty where they enjoyed sandwiches and cakes, served by the staff who work there.
Group co-ordinator Maggie Whitlock said: "We would like to extend a very big thank you to Lauren and her new apprentice Brooke who organised this for us.
"Pass the parcel was a big hit and we enjoyed a very entertaining game of bingo.
"Once again a huge thank you to all our volunteers as we could not do this without you."
Regional organiser Loraine Coleman added: "A very big thank you to the staff at Balfour Beatty for hosting such a wonderful tea party for our guests.
"Special thanks to Lauren and Brooke for organising such a thoughtful and memorable afternoon. From the delicious food to the fun of pass the parcel and bingo, it really was a perfect day.
"It's lovely to see so many happy faces in the photographs – so many special memories were made.
