John Lewis Aberdeen 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 John Lewis Aberdeen on 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 teacup. ​John Lewis will also be making an additional* £20,000 donation nationally to Marie Curie, ​following the Blooming Great Tea Parties taking place in John Lewis shops up and down the country this June.
Robert Garnish, head of branch at John Lewis Aberdeen said: “We’re really proud to be supporting Marie Curie’s Blooming Great Tea Party campaign and I know everyone at John Lewis Aberdeen is looking forward to welcoming customers to our own tea party in The Place to Eat. Everyone loves tea and cake, so join us over a cuppa, get inspired, and why not host your own Blooming Great Tea Party at home to raise money for such a great cause!”
Lauren Edwards, Marie Curie community fundraiser in Aberdeen said: “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.”
