The terminal illness charity Marie Curie is calling on people across Mid & West Wales to throw a Blooming Great Tea Party this June. Whether it’s a traditional tea party, bake-off style competition, or coffee and cake with a few of your nearest and dearest, all the money you raise will be helping terminally ill people get the support they need when they need it most.

Throwing a Blooming Great Tea Party is an easy and fun way to raise money for a blooming great cause. Pick a date in June then invite round your friends, colleagues and family. All you need to do is ask for donations on the day. The money you raise will help Marie Curie provide vital care and support for people living with a terminal illness and their loved ones.

Chris Roberts, Community Fundraiser for Mid & West Wales said:

“Throwing a Blooming Great Tea Party for Marie Curie in June is an easy way to get together with chums, spend some quali-tea time and raise money for Marie Curie. You can invite the whole village round for a garden party, or spend time with a few close friends and buy in your favourite treat.

“So whether you’re an aspiring pastry chef, or a total butterfingers, join the thousands of people in Mid & West Wales who will be baking up a storm to raise money for people who are terminally ill across the whole country. We’re counting on your cuppa!

“This year we have some baking superstars supporting the campaign so sign up today and you’ll find recipes from Mel Giedroyc, Tom Kerridge, Ainsley Harriot on our website to get you inspired!”
