Essex Air Ambulance is calling on the tea and cake-loving folk of Essex to hold their very own fundraising tea party in aid of their local air ambulance.

Simply get your friends and family together over the weekend of Friday, July 24 to Sunday, July 26 for afternoon tea. You can hold the event at home, work, school or even at your local club and then just ask each of your guests to make a donation to Essex Air Ambulance.

Carly Duffett, head of fundraising at Essex & Herts Air Ambulance Trust, said: ‘This is a great way to get involved with the charity and we want people to enjoy a fun afternoon with friends and family while raising money for their local life-saving charity at the same time. It is also really exciting to have MasterChef 2015 semi-finalist and local Essex lad Ben Crittenden support our Afternoon Tea campaign.’
