WE all love a brew and it tastes even better when we know that that cuppa is helping to fund local nurses to care for people in Dorset.

Weldmar Hospicecare Trust is inviting Dorset residents to take part in a brand new event for this year, ‘The Big Dorset Cuppa.’

Together with Dorset Tea, they are urging people to brew up on Friday, June 24, and help raise funds for their work. The charity provides care for people with life-limiting conditions both at home and through their Dorchester hospice.

They are encouraging everyone to raise a mug and raise vital funds.

A spokesman for the charity said: “Get your friends, family or colleagues together, hold a tea party, cake sale or bake off style event. It’s a piece of cake to take part and every cuppa counts.

“Plus, thanks to our friends at Dorset Tea, every person that registers for a free fundraising pack, will receive a box of delicious Dorset Tea.”

Don’t worry if you can’t hold your event on June24. You can hold your Cuppa event whenever suits you.

Once the event has been held, people can pay in the money you have raised at: campaign.justgiving.com/charity/weldmar/cuppa.
