A cup of tea and a chat once a week if anyone's free

Ipswich, Suffolk · East of EnglandPosted 29 May 2026 by Ruth O.

What's needed

I'm recovering from surgery and can't manage it on my own. I'm free most days apart from Wednesdays. Any help at all, even part of it, would make a real difference. Please do get in touch if you think you could help. I'm based in Ipswich, Suffolk.

Can you help?

How helping works

  1. 1. Send a message. Say what you could do and when you're free — there's no obligation on either side.
  2. 2. Agree the details. Ruth O. picks who to reply to and you sort out timing between you.
  3. 3. Lend a hand. Once it's sorted, the listing is closed so nobody else offers unnecessarily.

Helping is always free and voluntary. If anything feels wrong, report the listing and our moderators will look into it.
