Who Runs It

Meet the founder

Sam and her mum Maureen

Sam Oliphant

After Sam's dad passed away she realised her mum needed some company and a reason to get up on a morning. She invited a couple of older people in the village to come along and meet her mum for a coffee and a chat and within a couple of weeks the numbers had doubled as word spread.

This was the moment Chew Chat was born and it continues to grow in popularity.

So what are you waiting for? Come get involved in the fun.
