Marie Curie is calling on people in Cumbria to hold a Blooming Great Tea Party between 20-29 June and support the charity which provides care and support for people living with a terminal illness.
Whether it’s a big garden party for family and friends or a small bake sale at work, every donation from a Blooming Great Tea Party will be helping Marie Curie Nurses care for more people living with a terminal illness across the UK.
Hayley Revell, Community Fundraiser for Marie Curie said: “It’s easy to support Marie Curie with a Blooming Great Tea Party and it really is up to you how you decide to join in. Last year in Cumbria we had some fantastic events and this year we want Cumbrian residents to go even further and tell us about their tea-riffic plans. Every pound raised will enable us to help even more people living with a terminal illness which includes those we support directly in the South Lakes through the Nursing Service and also throughout the whole of Cumbria through our telephone and online support services.”
Last week staff from Lingholm Estate in Portinscale showed their support for the campaign and welcomed Marie Curie on site to enjoy a cuppa and promote the Blooming Great Tea Party.
Jenny Seymour from the Lingholm Estate said: “We were more than happy to launch this great appeal here at Lingholm and would encourage everyone to get behind the Blooming Great Tea Party, and enjoy plenty of tea and cake with it.”
