Celebrate 35 Years of Care – with a cuppa and cake!
This year marks a big milestone for us – 35 incredible years of providing free, specialist care to patients and families across Stafford and the surrounding areas. And we couldn’t have done it without you. Your generosity and support have been with us every step of the way – thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Now, it’s time to celebrate – and what better way than with tea, cake, and community spirit?
Whether you’re a star baker or just love a good brew, we’re thrilled you’re thinking of joining us to mark this special occasion with your very own Care for a Cuppa 35 event. You can make your event as elaborate or simple as you like. Will you host a cosy get-together with friends, a bake-off with colleagues, or simply pop a donation tin by the teapot?
Every slice of cake sold and kettle boiled helps raise vital funds to keep our services free for those who need them. Every cuppa counts.

Make a difference with a Cuppa
Raise £10 or £1,000 – every penny makes a difference.
- £25 could pay for a tai chi session to help a patient improve both their physical and mental wellbeing.
- £50 could pay for one of our monthly Bereavement Café sessions supporting those who have lost a loved one through a palliative diagnosis.
- £100 could pay for a session on our Wellbeing Programme to help a patient start to manage fatigue, breathlessness and anxiety.
- £600 could pay for a patient to attend a full six week Wellbeing Programme to help manage fatigue, breathlessness and anxiety, focus on relaxation and wellbeing, and more.
Thanks for being part of our story. Let’s raise a mug to 35 amazing years! ❤️

Plan your Cuppa
Get your Care for a Cuppa ingredients together. It’s as easy as one, two, tea.
Pick your venue
At home
Invite your guests along and ask them to make a donation. They could also bring along some goodies or even craft items to sell. If you fancy more than just a natter, try hosting a bingo game, a quiz, or a guess the weight of the cake competition to raise more funds. You could even have a garden party.
At work
Everyone loves a tea break at work, or perhaps your office has some budding bakers? You could hold a cake sale in the canteen or even a Bake-Off competition whilst you serve your tea!
Remember to check with your employer if they have a match-funding scheme. If they do, every pound you raise could be doubled.
With your group
You could organise a full blown Cuppa, or keep it simple and just ask for donations during a refreshment break.
