On 5 July 2018, the NHS celebrates its 70th anniversary and Moorfields Eye Charity (MEC) is joining up with other NHS charities to celebrate the Big7Tea – people all around the country will be hosting tea parties in honour of this magnificent milestone.
MEC has created its own event: The Moorfields Tea, and would love you to host a tea party and in return raise money for the charity. It doesn’t have to be a tea party – you can choose whatever meal you like. All you need to do is ask your guests to make a donation instead of a gift, or as an exchange for the cost of the meal. It’s a fun, friendly and easy way to fundraise and support the work of MEC to help Moorfields Eye Hospital to discover, develop and deliver the best eye care.
You don’t have to host your event on 5 July – anytime in July is fine. Perhaps you already have something planned that month that you can turn into the Moorfields Tea? Alternatively why not host a cake sale and raise funds that way? Get your local school, community or business involved – the more the merrier! Follow these three easy steps:
- Step 1 – invite your friends round for tea
- Step 2 – host your tea
- Step 3 – ask your guests to donate instead of bringing a gift
Whatever you decide to do, Moorfields Eye Charity will support your fundraising efforts all the way. We will send you recipe ideas, sponsorship forms and collection boxes, as well as items to help decorate your tea table.
Why support Moorfields Eye Charity?
Moorfields Eye Charity helps Moorfields Eye Hospital to discover, develop and deliver the best eye care. We provide targeted funds to support the hospital and its research partner, the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology to:
- Research treatments for eye diseases affecting millions of people
- Invest in state of the art equipment
- Educate the researchers and clinicians of tomorrow.
Moorfields Eye Hospital is dedicated to providing world class care to people with a wide range of eye conditions. Moorfields Eye Charity needs your help, so that we can raise these vital extra funds for cutting edge facilities and research breakthroughs that bring hope to people in the UK and around the world.
