THE Northwich Marie Curie fundraising group is encouraging Northwich residents to get behind Marie Curie’s summer fundraising campaign.
The Blooming Great Tea Party encourages everyone to get together with friends and family to hold a tea party between June 20 and 29.
Tea parties across the UK have raised more than £4.5 million since the campaign started in 2008.
The funds raised from Blooming Great Tea Party will help Marie Curie Nurses care for more people living with a terminal illness in their own homes in Northwich and in the Marie Curie Hospices.
This Blooming Great Tea party has rasied £315 for Marie Curie and will be matched by Barclays taking the total to more than £600.
Sheila Taylor from the Northwich Fundraising Group said: “Whether you’re an aspiring Mary Berry or prefer to let someone else do the baking, getting together with friends and family to hold a Blooming Great Tea Party is a fun and easy way to support your local Marie Curie Nurses.”
