A free cup of tea and a chat at Canning CommuniTEA

Every month people from around the City of Canning enjoy a free cup of tea and a chat at Canning CommuniTEA.

The Canning CommuniTEA aims to foster social connection, and create a place for people to touch base with the community. It’s open to the entire community, and always a good time.

Right from the beginning CommuniTEA was a great success, with jokes and great fun between the people who attended. From people keen to get out of the house, to folks who want to get more involved and meet people in their community, people attend for a variety of reasons, and are greeted with a hot drink and a biscuit and a friendly chat.

‘I enjoyed a lovely cuppa and biscuits with some friendly folk as we chatted about all sorts,’ attendee Clare said. ‘Nice to get out and about, ease social anxieties. I look forward to the next Meet Up.’

The casual, informal environment allows people to talk about whatever interests them, from education, to food waste, to art. At the December CommuniTEA, attendees discovered they shared a love of photography, and decided to join a photography club together. More recently, Cannington CommuniTEA attendees shared the different sports they enjoyed, from Formula 1 racing, to roller derby, to soccer.

The Canning CommuniTEAs for May will be at:
Riverton Library, 10am, May 6 - theme subject ART.
Cannington Library, 10am, May 20 - theme subject ANIMALS.
