BREAST Cancer Care is urging supporters to arrange a get together with friends, family or colleagues to host a Strawberry Tea for charity.

From June 1 to August 31 The funds raised through the Strawberry Tea campaign, which is sponsored by fine bone china teaware specialist Royal Albert, will help support thousands of women waking up to the harsh reality of breast cancer every day.

A Strawberry Tea party can be as simple or extravagant as you like. Whether you host it in your home, your garden or at your OR local town hall - it couldn’t be easier.

Spoil your guests with sweet treats, add some strawberries, keep the tea flowing and ask for a donation in return. Whatever you raise, you can be confident it will help a woman who has been told the devastating news ‘you have breast cancer’.

Breast Cancer Care is the only UK-wide breast cancer support charity. Its specialist nurses, local services and emotional support network mean whenever a woman needs information, support or just wants to hear a caring voice, they are there to listen and respond.

Mother of two Frances, 48, said: “I cannot begin to tell you how I would have managed my devastating breast cancer diagnosis without Breast Cancer Care by my side – to support me and my young family. They were my lifeline. Through hosting a Strawberry Tea party this summer you can help Breast Cancer Care support other women just like me.”
