Leadership in practice
Care has a point of view.
Founders Mark and Kay Lewington shaped Tea and Cake around a simple conviction: recovery gets stronger when people have somewhere steady to belong after formal treatment.
The wider team keeps that conviction practical — making room for honest conversation, shared meals, and the small routines that help a new life take root.
