A CHARITY is calling on food fans in County Durham to hold a retro-inspired dinner party to help it raise funds.
Marie Curie has launched a new fundraising campaign encouraging people to recreate their favourite nostalgic food.
Community fundraiser Lisa Wild said: "Recreate time-honoured classics or put a contemporary twist on some old classics like duck a l'orange and prawn cocktail. 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.
“Holding a ‘Dinner Down Memory Lane’ is a great alternative to a normal dinner party and by inviting friends to make a donation in return for a dinner with a difference, you’ll be helping Marie Curie Nurses to provide care and support to people living with a terminal illness and their families.”
