CHARITY
HOST A ‘ DINNER DOWN MEMORY LANE ’ PARTY FOR MARIE CURIE
Marie Curie is calling on food fans in Sussex to hold a dinner party with a difference this October to raise money for Marie Curie , the charity that cares for people with any terminal illness .
Dinner parties are a great way to share memorable moments with friends and family . By hosting a ‘ dinner down memory lane ’, you ’ ll be adding something different to the mix . The meal you enjoy together will also help fund Marie Curie nurses , who care for people in their own homes . This means more people living with a terminal illness can spend quality time with their loved ones .
Your evening can be as simple , creative or as fancy as you like . So , whether you love to experiment with the classics , or prefer rustling up a much-loved family favourite , it ’ s all about sharing good times together and supporting a great cause . Instead of asking your guests to bring a bottle , ask them for a donation to Marie Curie – the perfect way to add meaning to your menu . The money raised from every dinner party will help Marie Curie provide more free care to people living with a terminal illness and their families .
Georgia Paton , community fundraiser for Marie Curie , said : “ We ’ re really looking forward to seeing what the local community cooks up , whether it be a classic recipe from the past or a brand new culinary creation . We already have supporters planning a 1950s-themed dinner party , a Masterchef-style competition , a school reunion , and a family dinner party in memory of a much-loved family member . If you haven ’ t done any fundraising before this is the perfect opportunity to get involved and make a difference .”
