Host a Tea @ 3 party

Tea @ 3 in the hospice garden

Gather your friends and family together for your very own Tea @ 3 party to support Winchester Hospice.

Whether you host one in your garden at home, in the office at work, online, or in a community space, choose a day to pause at 3pm and enjoy tea and cake while supporting the care of patients at the hospice.

This simple way of fundraising is a great way to get your loved ones together to help raise money. You can choose to make your treats yourself or buy them from a shop, it really doesn’t matter which. What matters is that you’re showing support for the patients at the hospice.

Top tips for maximising your fundraising

  • Ask for a small donation for tea and cake - and perhaps a further donation for an extra slice!

  • Have a few plants in your greenhouse you don’t have room for? Sell them for a donation to your guests.

  • Play games - ask for a donation to play a game of bingo and award a prize to the winner.

  • Have an extra special cake? Sell raffle tickets for a small donation and give the whole thing to the winner.

Hospice supporter raises over £1,000 for charity through Tea @ 3 parties

Our wonderful volunteer Pat Bloor has already hosted two Tea @ 3 parties for the hospice. One celebrated Valentine’s and the other brought people together for the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

Her Valentine’s celebration raised an fantastic £655 for the hospice and the VE Day party raised an incredible £925 to help fund our care of local people. Her total from these events to an outstanding £1,580!

Guests at the Tea @ 3 parties were entertained with a guess the weight of the cake competition and raffle along with copious amounts of tea and cake.

Thank you to everyone who participated and donated and a huge thank you to Pat for organising.
