About Afternoon Tea

Drink tea, raise money, change lives

Afternoon Tea is one of Breast Cancer Now's biggest fundraising events and has been running for over 20 years.

Every August, thousands of people dust off their whisks and stick the kettle on to hold an Afternoon Tea, raising money for people affected by breast cancer. Every 10 minutes, someone in the UK hears the words “you have breast cancer”. When you hold an Afternoon Tea, you’ll help us be here for them, every step of the way.

There are lots of ways you can take part and raise money, people hold bake sales, organise raffles and play fundraising games. It doesn’t have to be big. It doesn’t have to be fancy. It could be scones in the sunshine, a sandwich picnic in the park, or tea and biscuits in your town hall.

When it comes to Afternoon Tea, you can have your cake and eat it too!
