YOURS Store holds tea party for charity

JOHN Lewis Cardiff will be holding a Blooming Great Tea Party on Friday, June 9, to support terminal illness charity Marie Curie.

The Blooming Great Tea Party is Marie Curie’s summer fundraiser and encourages everyone to get together and hold a tea party, bake sale or special tea break in aid of the charity.

This year the Blooming Great Tea Party will be supported by John Lewis nationwide – the first time the campaign has been supported on this scale by a retailer.

Customers visiting the Cardiff store on Friday, June 9, will be able to buy tea and cake in The Place To Eat, meet Marie Curie fundraisers, find out more about hosting their own tea party, and take a selfie alongside a giant Marie Curie tea cup.

John Lewis will also be making an additional £20,000 donation nationally to Marie Curie, following the Blooming Great Tea Parties taking place in the department store’s shops up and down the country.

Helen Cahill, community liaison coordinator at John Lewis Cardiff, said: “We’re really proud to be supporting Marie Curie’s Blooming Great Tea Party campaign and I know everyone at John Lewis Cardiff is looking forward to welcoming customers to our own tea party in The Place to Eat.”

Hannah Leckie, Marie Curie community fundraiser in Cardiff and the Vale, added: “We’d like to invite everyone to join us for a cuppa and some cake at John Lewis.

“We hope we can show everyone how easy and fun it is to hold a Blooming Great Tea Party and inspire people to hold their own later in the month. Every cuppa counts in helping Marie Curie provide care and support to people living with a terminal illness and their families.”

The John Lewis Blooming Great Tea Party is in The Place To Eat restaurant on the store’s 9.30am-4pm.
