Burnham-On-Sea tea party raises funds for local hospice

More than 50 people flocked to a fundraising tea party in Burnham-On-Sea on Wednesday afternoon (June 27th) when they helped raise money for St Margaret's Hospice.

The event, held in the Masonic Hall in Burnham, was part of a series of parties being held across the country as part of the UK's Biggest Tea Party.

Wednesday's event in Burnham was expected to have raised several hundred pounds for St Margaret's Hospice - delighting charity representative Barbara Fletcher, who was at the event.

St Margaret's Somerset Hospice is a local charity committed to providing specialist care, advice and respite to patients and their families living in the region who have a terminal or life-limiting illness.
