All through the year: have a cuppa for HemiHelp!

Join in the fun and hold a Tea Party in support of HemiHelp

Raising money for HemiHelp doesn’t have to involve running a marathon or sitting in a bath of baked beans - it can be as simple as having a cup of tea!

Here at HemiHelp we have declared summer one long tea party and would love for you to join us by running a tea party in your local area.

We need as many people as possible to hold a tea party with friends, relatives, colleagues, housemates…anyone who loves tea and loves giving! The tea party can be as small or as big as you like, from a tea party with relatives in your living room to an afternoon tea party with everyone in your office or school.

Why not make your tea party even more inviting by offering a selection of cakes and biscuits which you have baked yourself, try some of our favourite recipes and don’t forget to send us some of your favourite recipes!

Your tea party doesn’t have to be traditional. Why not try a theme to create as much interest as possible. A few ideas include:

• Mad Hatter’s Tea Party
• Teddy Bear’s Picnic
• Japanese Tea Ceremony

We hope that you have a lovely tea party but don’t forget why you are organising it! HemiHelp is a unique charity, as it is entirely devoted to helping people affected by hemiplegia. To remind all of your guests why you are holding a tea party, why not accessorise with some HemiHelp mugs, available via our online shop.

In the UK we drink 165 million cups daily or 60.2 billion per year so let’s make one just for HemiHelp:

• Boil the kettle – get your ideas together and bubble up some excitement with others. Register now for a tea party pack, containing everything you need to host your tea party.
• Pour in the mug – Don’t forget to purchase HemiHelp mugs ready to accessorise your tea party.
• Allow to brew – Advertise your tea party in advance to encourage as many guests as possible. Start making your fundraising target known and send out invitations.
• Add some sugar – Why not bake a few cakes ready for the big day? Try some of our favourite recipes, which can be found in your tea party pack.
• Stir – Stir up the enthusiasm with others and encourage them to hold their own tea party for HemiHelp. Please download our Tea Party Poster (see below) and display at your local school, church or shop.

And Enjoy!
