Blue Cross Tea Party

After lunch we went to a Blue Cross Tea Party at the home of one of our new friends. This was a good opportunity for I and A to think about their animal charities project. Sitting amongst a group of people interested in the welfare of animals we added a few more animal charities to our A-Z list. It was also an ideal way of showing the girls how charity fundraising works in an informal setting involving a small group of friends. What were the ingredients? A kind welcome, a cup of tea, some cakes and biscuits, a raffle, a comfy chair and a chat with some like-minded people and the job was done... although I did explain to the girls that planning, preparation, good publicity and the washing up afterwards are also part of the task! We're going to collect the publicity materials to see how this kind of event works as as national project.
