For the whole month of August we're asking you to hold your own tea event.  It can be as large or small as you like.  All we ask is that you raise some money to help us care for patients with life limiting illnesses and their families.

When you sign up, we'll send you some useful resources like recipes, downloadable poster and a fun quiz.

• Choose your date and time! Think about when to host your event. If you're planning it at work, when is it more likely to be popular? If it's at home, would a weekend be busier? If it's virtual, is a Tuesday evening better for your friends?
  If you're not sure, ask the people you would be inviting when would be good for them.
 
• Don't forget to let everyone know you're fundraising for us by holding an event.  Think about the best way to let your friends, family and colleagues know.  If you're doing it at work, can you add your event to your intranet, or send out a staff email?  
 
• Have fun! As well as making sure you've got some delicious cakes and bakes to serve your guests, thing about some fun games to add. We'll send you some useful resources like our Tea-riffic quiz, sweepstake template and simple ideas to make your event en-Tea-taining.
