The Big Tea Break is being organised by East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) and will take place between 23rd and 29th March.
“We loved hearing from people who organised their own events. They clearly had great fun, while doing something simple to raise funds for such a worthy cause” – after a successful debut, EACH’s Big Tea Break is back for 2024.
This is the second year of the popular initiative after it made a successful debut in 2023.
It gives the public an opportunity to put the kettle on, share a cuppa and spend quality time together, while also making a donation to EACH.
Community Fundraising Manager Tina Burdett said: “We’re excited to be organising another Big Tea Break.
“It was a completely new venture last year and we were very happy with the way it went.
“We loved hearing from people who organised their own events. They clearly had great fun, while doing something simple to raise funds for such a worthy cause.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a small group or whole communities getting involved.
“It’s about bringing people together and the idea ties in with the wellbeing and support services we offer.
“One of our key messages is that we help families create memories together.
“There’s a direct link because we want to encourage our supporters to take a break and make their own memories with family, friends and colleagues.
“Please spread the word and for more information, including how to register an event and download a fundraising pack, check our website.”
Supporters are being encouraged to snap, tag and share their photos online and anyone wishing to donate, but unable to host or attend an event, can contribute £3 by texting BIGTEABREAK to 70085.
Texts will cost the donation amount plus one message at your standard network message rate.
This year’s Big Tea Break is being sponsored by TREATT.
