Afternoon Tea Brings Community Together For Macmillan Support

Our community came together for a wonderful cause, hosting a special Macmillan Support Afternoon Tea filled with laughter, generosity, and delicious treats. The event took place in our lounge, decorated with green ribbons and bunting to reflect Macmillan’s signature spirit. Residents, relatives, and staff gathered around tables brimming with savoury bites, homemade cakes, and fresh pastries, each plate a small act of kindness.

The inviting aroma of cappuccinos and freshly brewed tea filled the air as conversations flowed easily. Laughter echoed through the room, and smiles were shared all around. Some residents reminisced about favourite family recipes, while others eagerly sampled the tempting array of goodies made by talented staff members and generous donors.

The highlight of the afternoon was the raffle, which added a touch of excitement and friendly competition. Prizes ranged from hand-crafted hampers to sweet treats, ensuring there was something special for everyone. Each ticket purchased brought us closer to our goal, and when the final totals were counted, we had raised an incredible £285 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

This heartfelt achievement reflected the strength of our community here in Bearsted and the compassion of everyone who took part. Whether baking a cake, donating a prize, or simply enjoying a cup of tea, every effort helped make a difference. A huge thank you goes out to everyone who contributed, supported, and shared in such a meaningful afternoon.
