Held on Thursday 1 March in Edwards café bar, located within Cookes Furniture, the tea will begin at 2.30pm with all proceeds on the day going directly to the charity.

Organisers hope the event will help top last year’s fundraising total of £1,200, with the store having raised a total of £7,000 for The Cancer Support Centre since 2010.

Cookes Furniture has continued to support the centre after Managing Director, James Pike, was appointed patron of the charity in 2016.

As well as holding regular afternoon teas, the store has also raised money for the centre by completing the 100-mile Velo Birmingham cycle challenge and hosting a Gala Evening.
