Wall to wall sunshine for Canine Partners cream tea

Posted 8 years ago in the A big thank you, Volunteers and fundraisers categories

A huge thankyou to some of our wonderful volunteers for hosting an afternoon cream tea at the beautiful Laurel Cottage Gardens in Shawford on Sunday 11 September.

Whilst the Saturday set up was dampened by pouring rain, the sun came out just in time on Sunday for the big event! A glass of bubbly, delicious homemade cakes and cream tea in fine bone china were on the menu for the 60 guests who were also treated to a walk around the lovely gardens. Raffle prizes were up for grabs which included a breakfast, lunch and day spa treatment for two at Careys Manor.

The event raised just over £1,500 for our Charity, and all guests went home with a lovely gift of homemade chocolate and a doggy bag of leftover cake!

Thank you once again to all of the volunteers, in particular Alison Bailey for running this fab event. We would also like to thank all of those who donated to Canine Partners for their generosity.
