“It made me feel more conected with people I know. It made me feel someone was thinking about me’’

To ensure we maximise the impact from our funding and donations we distribute boxes in areas that are typically challenged economically and socially. Our distributions partners are embedded in these communities and enable us to reach people most in need. They are an important part of what we do and we’re so thankful to them.

What Our Partners Say

''Tabletop travels is a fantastic initiative that enables older people to immerse themselves in cultures from around the world. The boxes are high quality and have been well received by older people within our community at The Beehive Centre. It has been great working with Tabletop travels, as it supports our charitable aims of reducing isolation and loneliness, connecting communities and offering new experiences that promote wellbeing. Tabletop travels is a valuable project, and we hope to continue our partnership in the future.''

— Amber Williams, Beehive Community Manager, Whitehall, Bristol
"Tabletop travels represents the best of British gerontology, developed as part of an exciting research project and properly centring older people in the creation of something simple and impactful."
