DO YOU find yourself pondering Forrest Gump’s saying ‘Life is like a box of chocolates’? Or thinking about when you’ll get your next delicious chocolate fix?

If so, I’ve got something you will want to hear.

This year I’m joining forces with The Sick Children’s Trust for the most chocolate-y May you’ve ever seen. I’m inviting you to join me in throwing a Big Chocolate Tea Party to help the charity raise £100,000, which will go towards supporting families with seriously ill children in hospital in the UK.

You could join in the fun at work, at school or at home with friends and family and, the best thing is, you can find everything you need to host your party on The Sick Children’s Trust website. I’ve even included a recipe which is sure to impress.

So, what are you waiting for? Dust off that teapot, get creative and start baking.

You’ll help us provide a lifeline to families across the country who are facing the most difficult of circumstances, and truly enjoy some guilt-free treats.

It’s time to get your apron on and get baking.
