Cake and a Cuppa
Host a Cake and a Cuppa for Brain Tumour Support
A simple get-together that makes a big difference
- When: Anytime
- Where: Anywhere
Host a Cake and a Cuppa in support of Brain Tumour Support — bring people together, enjoy something sweet, and help ensure no one faces a brain tumour diagnosis alone.
What is Cake and a Cuppa?
Cake and a Cuppa is a relaxed, flexible fundraiser you can make your own. Whether it’s a cosy coffee with friends, an afternoon tea at work, or a community bake sale, every event brings people together for something that truly matters.
Host at home, in the workplace, at school, or even online — there’s no set date, no pressure, and no rules about how fancy it needs to be. Just cake, a cuppa, and a shared purpose.
Why your fundraising matters
Every Cake and a Cuppa helps fund vital support for people affected by brain tumours — at a time when life can feel frightening, uncertain, and overwhelming.
Your fundraising supports:
- Specialist counselling
- Telephone and online support
- Face-to-face support groups
- Practical and emotional guidance for individuals and families
Did you know? On average, 30 people are diagnosed with a brain tumour every day in the UK.
By hosting a Cake and a Cuppa, you’re helping ensure that support is there — not just at diagnosis, but through every step of the journey.
“I honestly don’t know what I’d do without this charity. The support I get is amazing — I feel like you’re the only ones really looking out for me and my wellbeing.”
— Annie
How to host your Cake and a Cuppa
Raising funds really is a piece of cake.
You can host your Cake and a Cuppa anytime, anywhere. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Tea or coffee morning: Invite friends, family or colleagues for a relaxed get-together with cake (homemade or shop-bought — both are perfect).
- Workplace Cake and a Cuppa: Bring colleagues together over a cuppa and turn a break into something meaningful.
- Virtual Cake and a Cuppa: Perfect for remote teams or faraway friends — everyone brings their own brew and bake.
- Bake sale or community event: Set up a stall at school, in your village, or at a local event and raise funds while sharing sweet treats.
- Themed get-together: Afternoon tea, garden party, book club or bring-a-bake lunch — make it fun and personal.
- Add a donation station: Share information about Brain Tumour Support and how donations make a difference.
- Second-hand book sale: Invite guests to bring books to sell, with proceeds supporting Brain Tumour Support.
