I am writing as a supporter of Britain's pet charity, The Blue Cross, to invite you pop the kettle on and take part in a nationwide tea party to help needy pets.

On Friday, May 16 animal lovers everywhere will be hosting Blue Cross tea parties to help raise funds for the charity's work and everyone is invited to join in.

To get involved, simply get friends, family, neighbours or colleagues together and host a tea party anywhere you like, asking everyone who comes along to make a donation to help the sick and homeless animals cared for by the Blue Cross.

By hosting your own tea party you will be helping the Blue Cross to continue its vital work caring for thousands of needy animals at its rehoming centres and animal hospitals across the country. Just £9 a week will keep a dog's kennel warm.

Your party can be as lavish or as small as you wish, and all proceeds will make a huge contribution, as the Blue Cross does not receive any government funding.

The Blue Cross is also holding a tea time treat competition to help you show off your baking expertise.

Once you have registered to take part, the Blue Cross will send you the details along with a free host pack with plenty of super fundraising ideas to help make your party a special occasion.

To find out more or to register to host your own tea party please visit www.bluecrossteaparty.org.uk or phone 08444 993 663.
