The event - organised by Swindon Borough Council - was attended by staff and volunteers from Live Well Swindon, Forget Me Not Cakes, and Swindon Big Knit.
The tea party was held at Foundation park at the County Ground.
Swindon Borough Council's Live Well team have been involved in supporting the people of the town through various creative methods, for many years.
Also joining the Livewell team, were volunteers involved with the Swindon projects Forget Me Not Cakes, and Swindon Big Knit.
Mayor of Swindon, Cllr Abdul Amin said of his visit: "It’s been a great pleasure chatting to some of the volunteers from Forget Me Not Cakes and Swindon Big Knit.
"I looked at some of the fantastic garments knitted by our wonderful volunteers, and those garments are donated to the most needy people in Swindon; including some of the charitable organisations such as Threshold. These amazing hand knitted pieces will certainly benefit many people throughout the coming winter months."
He added: "I have also had the privilege to taste some of the beautiful cakes baked by our wonderful volunteers of Swindon Big Knit. Those volunteers bake cakes and donate to the most vulnerable, and elderly people of our borough to celebrate occasions such as birthdays.
"I am really pleased to see Swindon Borough Council’s excellent work with our most vulnerable people, and very much appreciated the work of the Live Well team of Swindon Borough Council. I look forward to seeing more of their progress in the coming years."
