ELF Summer Tea Party

Support ELF by hosting a Summer Tea Party! Last year's hosts raised an incredible £12,000 from their events and we're excited to see what you can do this time around! Your Tea Party can be whatever you want it to be in order to raise money for Devon blood cancer patients. You could hold a garden party (like supporter Vivienne did last year with a brilliant Buckingham Palace themed event - pictured), treat your colleagues to some homemade bakes, or get together with friends for a barbeque in the sunshine! (pictured - Valerie Burns' family BBQ 2024 in memory of her late grandson, Conor Jones).

The ELF Summer Tea Party runs from June until August and can be as big or small in scale as you wish. Simply set a date, pick your venue, and invite your guests. You could charge an entrance fee, have a collection box for general donations or sell cakes/treats/burgers at set prices. Whether you serve traditional cake and cream teas (cream first of course!), enjoy a full barbeque or opt for a classic bake sale, enjoy spending time with your loved ones knowing that every pound you raise will help to fund our vital support services for blood cancer patients and their families in Devon.

All hosts receive a free event pack crammed full of ideas for your ELF Tea Party, including a delicious muffin recipe from ELF Patient Liaison Marion who runs our Filling Time kiosk in the Haematology Centre. Why not have a go at baking her recipe alongside your own delicious bakes? 

COMPETITION TIME! 

We have produced special ELF oven mitts for this campaign, which will be sent as a thank you to any host who raises £50 from their Summer Tea Party. Every host who raises £100 or above will be put into a draw, with one winner being picked at random to win a £50 voucher to be used at the Brend Hotels group.

Registration for ELF's Summer Tea Party is now open. For your free Event Pack, please contact Development Manager Andy via email andy@elfcharity.org.uk or call the Fundraising Team on 01392 493344 (option 3)
