A LEADING charity is urging people to host a fundraising tea party next month.

Marie Curie is encouraging residents to get together with friends, family or colleagues to join their annual Blooming Great Tea Party appeal.

Community fundraiser Elma Mitchell said: “Holding a tea party really is a piece of cake. Just pick a date, send out some invites and simply raise a cuppa in June.

“You can choose to make everything yourself or pop to the shops for some tasty treats, as long as you price each slice or put a donation box by the front door you’ll be sure to raise funds.”
