Pink Fun and £365.40 Raised for Breast Cancer Now
Published: 03/11/2025
A Cosy Afternoon for a Great Cause
Picture this: fairy lights twinkling, a wood-burning fire crackling, cakes disappearing faster than you can say “slice please”, and laughter filling the air. That was the scene at our Breast Cancer Now Tea Party, hosted by Right at Home Swindon on Thursday 23 October at The Fox and Hounds in Wroughton.
We set out to do something simple but meaningful. Bring people together. Celebrate community. And raise funds for a cause that touches so many lives.
The Perfect Setting
The Fox and Hounds garden room offered the dreamiest backdrop. With its wooden beams, warm fire and soft glow of fairy lights, it felt like stepping into a storybook. Families, carers and clients all came together to chat, laugh and enjoy a relaxed afternoon surrounded by good company and even better cake.
What We Got Up To
The day was filled with laughter, bingo cards and raffle tickets. We started off with a homemade cake sale that was a total hit. Huge thank you to Zozo Bakes for the incredible sweet treats that disappeared within minutes. After that, it was onto bingo, where things got surprisingly competitive, followed by our big raffle draw packed with prizes from generous local businesses.

Why It Mattered
This event was about more than just fundraising. It was about connection. Seeing our carers, clients and their families come together reminded us how powerful community can be. The laughter, the shared stories and the smiles made the day unforgettable.
Our Heartfelt Thanks
A huge thank you to The Fox and Hounds for providing the most beautiful setting and to Zozo Bakes for keeping everyone well fed and happy. And of course, thank you to everyone who came along to support, donate or simply spread the word.
