AFTERNOON TEA WITH A DIFFERENCE
Late 2019, Mrs Claire Caswell started planning to an After Tea to raise money for Breathe Easy Foundation (BEF) and awareness of Asthma and allergies. She was supported by her family and a crew of people from the Church. As the day drew nearer, invitations and flyers were sent out and was announced on the social media and at the Bridge Chapel –our local church. The volunteers started to bake different types of cake
The organiser and her family arrived at the Bridge Chapel Centre joined by the Founders of Breathe Easy Foundation. The Café Esta at the Centre was decorated; tables were covered with beautiful table clothes with small posy flowers on top. Cakes were placed on cake stands on the tables; coffee and tea with juices were ready. The BEF banner was also in display with different types of Inhalers to show to people
The door was opened to the public at 11am and by 12noon the Café Esta was packed full. Claire welcomed everyone and informed them why the event was being held and encouraged them to donate at the entrance. She also informed them that there was plenty of cake to eat. Some people asked about Trustee of BEF about its work and those with Asthma shared their experience about the condition.
It was a good event and total of £1087 was raised. Thanks to Claire and all her supporters for a successful fund raising. The money will be used to buy Nebulizers for individuals with Chronic Asthma who may need it and cannot afford to buy it.
