The venue was filled with the comforting smell of freshly brewed tea, tables stacked with homemade cakes, and plenty of friendly conversation. As the afternoon went on, the room came to life — guests and staff alike took to the dance floor, sharing smiles and making new memories.
“It was such a wonderful afternoon,” said Margaret, one of the attendees. “Everyone was in great spirits, and the dancing was such fun. It’s lovely to see the staff joining in and making everyone feel included.”
“I haven’t danced in years,” laughed John, a member of the Hillingdon Stroke Society. “It brought back so many memories, and you could tell everyone felt relaxed and happy. It wasn’t just an event — it felt like a family gathering.”
“The whole afternoon was beautifully organised,” added Linda. “From the cakes to the music, everything was perfect. The team really went above and beyond — I can’t wait for the next one!”
Alvin Osei-Tutu, Director, shared his thanks with everyone involved:
“Our Tea Party was a fantastic reminder of the power of community,” he said. “Seeing customers, staff and members of the Hillingdon Stroke Society come together with such warmth and joy was truly special. We’re incredibly proud of our team for creating an event that not only celebrated our community but also made a real difference to people’s lives.”
After such a successful afternoon, the team is already looking ahead to future events — continuing to bring people together, build relationships and support local causes.
