Companionship That Truly Matters

Support for Mum and Dad, delivered with warmth, dignity, and genuine connection. Sometimes, what’s really needed isn’t care… it’s company. A friendly face. A helping hand. A cup of tea and a conversation.

At Time for Tea Companions, we provide meaningful companionship that helps older loved ones feel seen, supported, and connected every day.

Built on Real Connection

Hello, I’m Rebecca, Director of Time for Tea Companions. This journey started with a simple idea… giving someone an hour of my time.

I was introduced to companionship work through a volunteer opportunity, where I met Doreen, a wonderful woman in her 90s who was feeling isolated. What began as weekly visits quickly became something much more meaningful.

We spent time chatting, playing games, and enjoying coffee together. Those moments weren’t just important for Doreen… they became a highlight of my own week too. When funding cuts ended the service, I couldn’t imagine stopping. So I continued visiting her privately, supporting her through different stages of life, right up until her 97th birthday.

Doreen passed away in December 2025, but the impact she had on me never will. She’s the reason Time for Tea Companions exists today. Because no one should feel alone.

Our resident has benefited from the service of Time for Tea companion, Lillian has been doing very good work with one of our resident, being very understanding with him and encouraging him to come out of the room to the garden. She has been so patient and kind. We appreciate what you do Lillian.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rebecca has a wonderful rapport with all ages but she has a particular connection with older people. She was such a great help with my Mum, allowing me to go away knowing she had a friend visiting who would help out & make sure she was ok.
Conversation with Rebecca flows so easily, right from the onset, with her soon becoming a dear friend who is a joy to spend time with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Finding Time for Tea Companions has been been a huge relief for my sisters and I. Living 2 1/2 hours away makes it difficult for me to help mum with her day to day needs. Rebecca and Abby have been fabulous. They offer great company and also help mum get to appointments and to the supermarket and are always proactively offering their help so that mum has everything she needs and more. Thank You!
