Pat Holt, treasurer of the Marie Curie Ilkley Fundraising Group has raised £733 for the charity by holding a Blooming Great Tea Party at the Addingham Memorial Hall.

She and her group of helpers spent the days leading up to the event baking and also had the added bonus of cakes being donated by Just Desserts in Shipley which is supporting several fundraising group tea parties across the area by donating cakes to each group.

All the money raised will help Marie Curie provide more free care to people living with a terminal illness in their own homes and in the Marie Curie Hospice in Bradford.
