Chat Over Chai is a warm, welcoming, and respectful community group committed to reducing social isolation, boosting confidence, and supporting people in staying safe, healthy, and connected. We aim to foster personal growth and community cohesion by celebrating and raising awareness of diverse cultures. We are dedicated to building an inclusive, supportive environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
