DOCTORS and nurses are toasting 70 years of the NHS by encouraging people to hold a tea party in aid of the Royal United Hospital in Bath.
The Forever Friends Appeal has launched the ‘big 7tea’ party for friends and families to get together and enjoy a cuppa together to mark the birthday of the NHS.
Tim Hobbs, head of fundraising, The Forever Friends Appeal said:
“We’re proud of supporting the RUH and we would like to see as many people as possible involved in the 70th anniversary celebrations, raising funds for the Appeal as a thank you to the NHS.
“Tea brings us all together and is a symbol of community, so why not host a tea party of your own, a street party, in your local village hall or at work and invite your friends, family or colleagues to have a cuppa and mark the occasion.”
The Appeal is currently fundraising £2m for the new Royal National Hospital For Rheumatic Diseases, therapies centre and fundraising for the new cancer centre.
Posters, bunting and cake cards can all be found on the Forever Friends website. Visit: www.foreverfriendsappeal.co.uk
