Help call to foodies
MARIE Curie is calling on food fans in Ormskirk to hold a dinner party with a difference this October to raise money for Marie Curie, the charity that cares for people with any terminal illness.
Dinner parties are a great way to share memorable moments with friends and family.
By hosting a Dinner Down Memory Lane, you’ll be adding something different to the mix.
The meal you enjoy together will also help fund Marie Curie Nurses, who care for people in their own homes.
This means more people living with a terminal illness can spend quality time with their loved ones.
Your evening can be as simple, creative or fancy as you like.
So, whether you love to experiment with the classics or prefer rustling up a much-loved family favourite, it’s all about sharing good times together and supporting a great cause.
Instead of asking your guests to bring a bottle, ask them for a donation to Marie Curie – the perfect way to add meaning to your menu.
The money raised from every dinner party will help Marie Curie provide more free care to people living with a terminal illness and their families.
Sophie Yates, community fundraiser for Marie Curie said: “We’re really looking forward to seeing what the local community cooks up – whether it be a classic recipe from the past or a brand new culinary creation.
“We already have supporters planning a 50s themed dinner party, a Masterchef style competition, a school reunion and a family dinner party in memory of a much loved family member. If you haven’t done any fundraising before this is the perfect opportunity to get involved and make a difference.”
