“Tea, Talk and Crumpets” is a new social and recreational outlet for seniors with disabilities, facilitated and organized by community members, and hosted by the Cerebral Palsy Association of BC.

This is a peer-run program. A volunteer planning board will choose program activities and facilitate the group.

scheduling meetings
contacting and booking guest speakers
outreach and promotion of the group
helping to recruit program participants

Program logistics and support will be provided by CPABC.

Volunteers will receive a monthly honourarium of $100.
