The hospice is asking the public to hold a ‘Blooming Great Tea Party’ as part of a campaign being this month and in July to help raise funds for the charity.

Community fundraiser Rebecca Ross said: “Holding a Blooming Great Tea Party is a fantastic way to get together with friends, family or colleagues to enjoy a cuppa and a slice of cake.

“By taking part and raising funds you will be helping the Marie Curie Hospice, Bradford, to provide more expert care and the best possible quality of life for people with terminal illnesses and support for their families.”

The Marie Curie Bradford Hospice cares for about 1,100 patients each year.
