Sir- I am writing to ask your readers to put their aprons on, get baking and join in with the fantastic Blue Cross Paws for Tea party to help sick, injured and homeless pets across the country.

My dogs Stan and Little Elsie are a part of the family and we wouldn’t be without them, but not all pets are so lucky. Every year, Blue Cross helps thousands of pets to have healthy lives in happy homes - from finding loving new families to providing vet treatment at one of its animal hospitals - funded entirely by donations.

We all love cake and we all love our pets, so what could be better than a tea party for your family and friends to raise money for pets in need? It’s also the perfect excuse to get out your favourite recipes, or to try one of the delicious recipes from celebrities on the Blue Cross website. And every penny raised will help Blue Cross care for sick and unwanted pets.

Just put the kettle on and sign up now at bluecrossteaparty.org.uk or phone 08444 993 663.
