A charity afternoon tea hosted by Cookes Furniture has raised a grand total of £1,225 for The Cancer Support Centre in Sutton Coldfield, it has been announced.
The family-run furniture retailer was joined by over 60 local residents for an indulgent afternoon of cakes, sandwiches, tea, coffee and fizz in support of the charity earlier this month.
Held in Edwards café bar, located within the store, attendees were also able to win a range of fantastic raffle prizes throughout the event.
Having supported The Cancer Support Centre for over eight years, the latest fundraising effort brings the total amount raised for the charity by Cookes Furniture to over £9,000.
In addition to holding regular afternoon teas, the independent business has also raised money for the charity by completing the 100-mile Velo Birmingham cycle challenge and hosting a Gala Evening.
Vanessa Hoe, Marketing Director at Cookes Furniture, said: “We are delighted to share the wonderful news that we raised £1,225 for The Cancer Support Centre at our recent afternoon tea event. We are extremely passionate about supporting local charities throughout the Midlands, and are incredibly proud to have raised such a significant amount of money for The Cancer Support Centre over the past eight years.
“It was wonderful to see so many members of the local community join us on the day, and we’d like to thank everybody who came along for their continued support,” she added.
