On the 5 July the NHS marks its 74th birthday and what better way to celebrate than hosting an NHS Big Tea. The Big Tea is an occasion to celebrate your NHS and your way of saying thank you. It is also a fundraising opportunity for all par-teacipants to support the West London NHS Charity, so it can continue to support projects or resources outside of traditional NHS funding.   

Do you live or work locally? Would your company or club like to host a tea?

Plan your party

  • Decide a place and time on the 5 July
  • Bring your brew crew together – family, friends, children, colleagues, pets and host a tea par-tea
  • Invi-teas are encouraged to bring tea, cake, scones and sandwiches together for an afternoon tea
  • To make it more fun why not arrange a raffle, bake sale, quiz or in keeping with the theme, guess the number of tea bags in the tea pot.  

Donations

Once you have completed your event you can donate through our just giving page, we have set a fundraising target of £2,000 for our charity. So what are you waiting for, let’s put the kettle on, bring out the teapots and cake stands, lay out the gingham and let’s make this one memorable afternoon tea party!
