 Join in the Blooming great Tea Party and help to raise £1 million

It can be as simple as having a few friends round for tea and cakes at home to hosting a much bigger tea party with neighbours or colleagues. Hold your party at home, work, school or with your local club. It’s really up to you.

The official tea party season is June 12 to July 12 but we don’t mind if you are early or late. The Blooming Great Tea Party is a fun way to raise money to provide vital nursing care for the terminally ill in your area.

 Run your own event

This year, what better way to support the charity than organising your own fundraising event in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care? Simply get together with friends, family or work colleagues and have lots of fun doing the things you enjoy, knowing that every penny you raise will help a family affected by cancer.
