Great to see that one of our most memorable Inspiring Entrepreneurs speakers Fraser Doherty (the teenager behind the Super Jam brand) has been doing his bit to help with the growing issue of loneliness for elderly people.
This problem has had quite a bit of media coverage in recent weeks such as this item from BBC reporter Tim Muffett.
Fraser has introduced tea parties as a way of bring lonely elderly people together:
“after months of preparation, we today hosted our first of many tea parties for the elderly. About thirty guests came along to Sighthill community center and we all enjoyed a great laugh for a couple of hours and the delicious cakes and scones that were kindly donated by Waitrose. Alan from Contact the Elderly also came along and entertained us all with games, a couple of quizzes and a hilarious poem.”
