MARIE Curie is here for people living with any terminal illness, and their families. We offer expert care, guidance and support to help people make the most of their time.
As a Marie Curie community fundraiser, I see first-hand how vital this hands-on care and emotional support is. This is why I’m asking people to host or attend a Blooming Great Tea Party between June 20 and 29. These tea parties are a great way of getting together with family and friends while raising essential funds for Marie Curie.
Last year across the UK the Blooming Great Tea Party for Marie Curie raised £667,000, which pays for 33,350 hours of vital nursing care.
With your support we can do more, for more of the people who need us.
You can sign up to host your Blooming Great Tea Party at www.mariecurie.org.uk/teatime Please do share your event details, photos or get involved on social media using #BloomingGreat.
Thank you for your support,
Katherine Howell
