Could you spare a few hours to help us at Chai and Chat events?
Chai & Chat is built on kindness, conversation and community spirit. Volunteers help us make each gathering feel welcoming, organised and inclusive.
You might support us by helping set up events, welcoming guests, serving chai and refreshments, supporting activities, speaking with attendees, or simply being a friendly face in the room.
Whether you can help regularly or just occasionally, your time can make a real difference to someone.
Refer someone to us
Know someone over 50 who would benefit from friendship, conversation and community?
If you know someone who may enjoy meeting others, sharing conversation, or being part of a friendly local group, you can refer them to Chai & Chat.
This may be a parent, grandparent, neighbour, friend, client or community member who would benefit from a warm and welcoming space. We are especially focused on supporting over-50s South Asians in Solihull who are looking for meaningful social connection.
Once you get in touch, a member of our team will reach out to get more information before contacting them.

Partnering with Chai & Chat is a meaningful way to give back locally and show your commitment to community wellbeing.
