Hold a Big Tea Party

January can be a miserable month so why not get a date in the diary with your favourite people? Get together with friends, family or colleagues over a cuppa tea and a slice of cake. You can host it at work or at home. Make it big or keep it simple. Whatever you decide your Big Tea Party to be, you can be sure that the money you raise will make a difference to someone’s life.

We’ve also got plenty of delicious and healthy recipes on our website to make menu planning easy, from Healthy Lime Coconut and Courgette Cake to Sweet Potato Protein Muffins. We know you’ll have a tea-rrific time!

Set yourself a fitness challenge

Determined to get active and stay off the cakes? Dig out your trainers and walk for a better future for people with a learning disability. Ask friends and family to sponsor you to walk 10,000 steps in a month or mix up your routine and walk to work – you’ll get fit and feel fantastic!

Try a charity skydive
