Amnesty’s birthday is coming up – we’ll be celebrating with a big tea party! We’re hoping you’ll join us by hosting an AMNESTEA on or around Friday 28 May. To get started, order our free tea party kit with posters, invite ideas and more.
The beauty of this fundraiser is that everyone loves a cuppa and cake! Tea parties are also a great way to introduce friends and colleagues to human rights. Ask guests to show solidarity by sending a card to the family of Ebrima Manneh, a “disappeared” Gambian journalist.
In the last few months, Amnesty supporters have held over 100 tea parties in workplaces, homes and schools across the country. It's been great to hear about all the fun but we reckon there’s always room for more tea and solidarity!
We hope you’ll join us to celebrate entering our 50th year by hosting an AMNESTEA this Spring. Why not pencil in a date today? Then use our tips and tools to start spreading the word. If you have any questions do email us at tea@amnesty.org.uk and we'll be happy to help.
In solidarity,
Corinne, Laura & Camilla
The Amnesty Community Fundraising Team
P.S. TEA MEANS PRIZES
Raise over £200 and we’ll send you our gorgeous AMNESTEA towel. There are more prizes for most money raised, most guests and best location. You don’t need to hold a massive bash to make a difference – last year’s prize for best location went to Claire who squeezed 21 people into her beach hut for tea. Our top fundraisers were Lucy and Saima from Nottingham, who will soon be enjoying a very posh “tea for two” as a reward for raising over £600. Order your party kit today
