Hold a Great British Tea Party in 2020 – we need your support more than ever before
Despite 2020 being a difficult year for everyone we hope that more of you than ever before will support us by holding a Great British Tea Party.
We will be emailing your pack to you and only sending physical items to you when you request them. We have adapted our pack to include a range of ideas for fundraising at a distance to ensure you and your guests feel safe and secure with any fundraising plans.
How to organise your Great British Tea Party
Here are a few of the things you’ll need to think about to hold a successful tea party:
Venue
Consider whether your event will take place in person or virtually. Have it online, at home or in the garden, at college or university, at work, in a local community hall, or at a hospital – anywhere you can get permission, a few tables and chairs, and a kettle.
Fundraising
Ask attendees for a donation to attend or charge by the slice for your tasty creations? The fundraising pack has information about how to fundraise when your event is a virtual one.
Cakes
Make them all yourself, ask people to bring along their greatest bake or shop bought. Whatever you do, make sure you include allergen information.
Materials
Register your Great British Tea Party with us and request a fundraising pack for great ideas and fundraising materials.
Top Tip! – A few savoury bakes always go down a treat in addition to cake.
