How it works
This charity Mother’s Day afternoon tea in Essex gives you the chance to get together with loved ones and create special memories.
Your ticket includes:
- A selection of delicious sandwiches, cakes, scones and refillable tea and coffee!
- Entry to a craft workshop where you can create your own memorable Mother’s Day keepsake
- Charity donation with 100% of the proceeds helping to fund Hospice care
Pay it forward scheme
If you cannot attend, we welcome donations for the cost of an afternoon tea so a patient can enjoy the goodies we have on offer.
Your £35 donation could go towards the cost of a clinical nurse specialist phoning a patient, listening to their story and giving advice and information. A phone call like this helps patients feel heard and get specialist support when they need it most.
