Marie Curie Nurses in Cornwall held their own Blooming Great Tea Party and are asking local residents  to get together with family and friends and organise a Blooming Great Tea Party between June 20 and 29, or at a time convenient to them,  to raise funds for Marie Curie, the charity which provides care and support to people living with a terminal illness.

Marie Curie helps everyone affected by a terminal illness get the information and support they need.  The charity provides a wealth of information for someone who is ill as well as family members and friends. 

The charity has a Support Line staffed by trained advisors who can provide emotional support and give trusted information on everything from day-to-day care to financial information and legal issues. 

Marie Curie also has an online community where people can share experiences and find support by talking to people in a similar situation.

For more information and to sign up for a free fundraising pack to host your own Blooming Great Tea Party, visit   www.mariecurie.org.uk/teatime or call 0845 052 4184.
