Marie Curie urges people to put the kettle on for a summer tea party
The end-of-life charity Marie Curie is calling on people across Scotland to throw a Blooming Great Tea Party in June and July.
The charity events will help fund vital care and support for those living with a terminal illness, and their families.
People are urged to host a tea party and invite family, friends or colleagues to tuck into treats and catch-up over a cuppa.
Every penny raised from a Blooming Great Tea Party will go towards ensuring more people have access to the care and support they need at the end of life.
Ashley Thomson, head of fundraising Scotland at Marie Curie, said: “Hosting a Blooming Great Tea Party is easy. Whether you want to bake up a storm at home or pop to the shops for some tasty treats, you’ll be helping support people in your local area living with a terminal illness.
“We’d encourage supporters to make the most of the Queen’s Jubilee bank holiday weekend in June too – a perfect occasion to raise a cuppa and some money for a blooming great cause. Just don’t forget to price your slice!”
