Host a tea party and fundraise for cancer
Host a tea party and raise vital funds for ovarian cancer research
EVERY year in Northern Ireland more than 180 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Grim statistics, yet funding and awareness of ovarian cancer remains low.
The Eve Appeal is determined to change this and by taking part in the Make Time for Tea campaign you will be helping all women by funding groundbreaking research into this deadly disease.
This year’s campaign, now in its seventh year, has a vintage theme and will be spearheaded again by ITV presenter Lorraine Kelly. Lorraine has offered ‘money can’t buy’ competition prizes open to anyone holding a tea party – the opportunity to attend the live filming of Lorraine at the ITV Studios in London followed by brunch at a top London hotel – and winners of the three competition categories will also be treated to a professional cupcake master class.
This year the Queen celebrates her diamond jubilee so what better time to put on that glamorous tea dress, get out the porcelain and invite your friends or colleagues to some vintage fun at a quintessentially British tea party - as it used to be. Or what about a tea dance? Girls in pearls, bunting and retro porcelain – vintage glamour amidst the hustle and bustle of modern life.
The Eve Appeal is aiming for 500 tea parties across the UK to help it reach its target of £150,000.
Robert Marsh, ceo of The Eve Appeal said: “It’s such an easy way to fundraise. All you need to do is put the kettle on and host a tea party – at work, at home, at school, sports clubs and more. So come on ladies and gentlemen, enjoy some retro glamour, put on a fabulous frock and invite your friends or colleagues to have some vintage fun during March while raising much needed funds for all women”.
Lorraine Kelly is just one of a number of celebrities who will be supporting the campaign.
She said: “I can’t think of anything nicer than a refreshing cup of tea and a lovely slice of cake – particularly when this little indulgence could make such a difference to ovarian cancer research. Help out The Eve Appeal and hold a vintage tea party…. it’s so easy I’ll be putting the kettle on myself - and I’m sure I’ve got a twinset and pearls somewhere! “
