I AM writing to ask your readers to get their aprons on and their mixing bowls and teapots at the ready to bake a difference for people with epilepsy. National Tea and Cake Break on Friday, October 16.

The event raises money for national charity Epilepsy Action. The charity supports the 600,000 people living with epilepsy in the UK.

National Tea and Cake Break brings bakers and brew-lovers together all over the country. There are all sorts of ways to get involved, from a cup of tea and a cupcake in your kitchen, to an office tea party or school bake sale. You could even host your own bake-off and judge your friends’ creations.

Everyone who registers to hold a National Tea and Cake Break will receive a free pack bursting with hints, tips and tools to get their event off to a sweet start.

To register for a free tea break fundraising pack, visit epilepsy.org.uk/teabreak or call the fundraising events team on 0113 210 8824.

For more information and support about epilepsy, readers can call our freephone helpline on 0808 800 5050.
