Dorothy House Hospice Care is launching a new fundraising initiative called Dorothy’s Tea Party.
The whole community are invited to get involved by either hosting or attending a Dorothy’s Tea Party or coffee morning at home, in their workplace, or even at school at any time of year. The idea is to have fun, bring people together, eat lots of cakes and raise vital funds to support the work of the hospice.
The Dorothy’s Tea Party fundraising initiative is supported by top local chef Rachel Demuth of Demuths Cookery School. Rachel hosted a tea party and judged a mini-Bake Off competition at her cookery school kitchen in Bath this week, with all cakes pre-baked at home by staff from the hospice.
The winning baker was Hollie Gale who baked an impressive 40 layer cake to celebrate Dorothy House’s 40th anniversary.
Dorothy House will help people keen to organise their own fundraising tea party by sending them a party planning pack filled with invites, recipes, posters, decorations and fundraising ideas to make their tea party a fun and rewarding success.
To order a Dorothy’s Tea Party pack visit: dorothyhouse.org.uk/dorothys-tea-party.
Dorothy House provides palliative and end of life care free to the community and for every £1 funded by the NHS, the hospice has to raise £4 through fundraising and other activities.
To inspire people to take part, Dorothy’s Tea Party hosts will be entered into a draw to win a voucher worth £165 for a full day course at Demuths Cookery School. The prize will be awarded to the host whose name is drawn out of a hat on 1 September 2017.
