What is the NHS Big Tea?

The NHS Big Tea is an annual fundraising and awareness campaign with the aim of celebrating the NHS birthday on 5 July and recognising the vital work of NHS charities in supporting our health service.

In hospitals, in homes and in local communities across the country, everyone who loves the NHS is encouraged to come together with friends, family and colleagues to host a tea party and ‘raise a cuppa’ to the NHS.

How can you help?

Last year we were delighted to have lots of support from our local communities who held their own tea parties to celebrate and raise funds for MCH Charity. This year we would love to have even more tea parties (or related events) taking place throughout the campaign, which runs nationally between 24 June and 7 July.
