A cup of tea...with Pippa Cramer

Grab a cup of tea and come and join us online to get to know The Silver Hope Trust and discover how Connections groups are helping older people find community, care and friendship.

Event date July 20th, 2026

Speaker: Pippa Cramer MBE

In this session, Pippa Cramer (one of our Faith in Later Life Ambassadors) will share the heart behind the launch of The Silver Hope Trust, the charity which oversees Connections and Hymns We Love for those in later life. You’ll hear how Connections works, the key principles behind it, and practical ways to explore, join, or even set up a group in your church or community.

We’ll also watch the powerful 9-minute film A Cup of Tea, a moving snapshot of some of the real challenges older people face, including loneliness, isolation, and bereavement, and the urgent need for community, love, and care.

Please join us for this session on Monday 20th of July at 1.30pm (only)
