FUNDRAISERS at a hospice are urging people to take part in a tea party.

June is Hospice Awareness month, and among many fundraising activities taking place in aid of the Butterwick Hospice is Tea at Three.

The hospice, in Stockton, is inviting people to take their tea-break at 3pm and make a donation to the charity.

Sarah Eldon, fundraiser at the hospice, said: "We are urging people to get involved and help us raise vital funds for the hospice.

"Tea at three is something everyone can do and all we ask for is a small donation."

Anyone who would like more information about the event, which takes place on June 20, is asked to contact Ms Eldon on (01642) 624231.
