Help us take Tea, Cake & Art Out & About!

Tea, Cake & Art is for isolated, older and anxious people to meet and make art together. It has provided a regular, consistent point of contact for our participants throughout the pandemic and beyond. Now in-person and online, everyone, wherever they are or whatever their needs, can take part and experience the social and wellbeing benefits it brings. 

‘I’m still not going out a lot, TC&A made that time more than bearable …. it would be nice to have the space to mess around’

In 2023, we will be going on field trips to gardens, galleries and museums, the seaside… helping to open up the world for isolated people who may have become distanced from everyday social life. Please donate and help make this happen.

‘I don’t have transport and can’t afford travel costs but would love to come out…. give me new ideas and confidence to try them out’

We will provide transport and team up with partners like The Community Garden in Gulval to support 10-15 older people each trip to visit four locations, meet new people with different experiences and create together.

Please support this project, and let’s take Tea, Cake & Art outside!  

Your support, £10, £25 or £100, will help widen the horizons of some of the more isolated in our community, help them grow in confidence through creativity, make friends and feel better. We offer our traditional festive rewards to say thank you.

If you, or someone you know, might benefit from joining Tea, Cake & Art, please see www.newlynartgallery.co.uk, email [email protected] or ask at the galleries.
