CHEST, Heart and Stroke Scotland is asking people across Dumfries and Galloway to put the kettle on and get their ‘brew crew’ together to support Scots living with chest, heart and stroke conditions and long covid.
The charity has launched its Tartan Tea Party fundraiser, that will see hundreds of tea parties pop up across the country on 21st May – International Tea Day – to raise much needed funds for people living with the conditions it supports.
The event is being supported by Scottish baker, author, GP and Great British Bake Off finalist, Dr James Morton, above. He said: “This is such a wonderful opportunity to bring people together to support each other and to be there for those who have been through such hardship.
“I believe we’ll all know someone who has suffered from one of the many conditions that CHSS can help with, and this is our opportunity to talk about it, spread the word about the great work CHSS is doing and why you should support them.”
The charity wants to encourage as many people as possible in the region to take part in the Tartan Tea Party, from groups of friends and family, playgroups, nurseries and schools to sports clubs, community groups and businesses. Many resources are available to help hold events, including a planning booklet, invitations, posters, bunting, cake labels and a quiz.
