Marie Curie Cancer Care are encouraging more people to host a Blooming Great Tea Party in aid of the charity.
Already more than 40 have been planned but organisers want the number to reach 60 - to mark the charity's 60th anniversary year.
Area fundraiser Sue Rowlett said: "Marie Curie Cancer Care is celebrating its 60th anniversary and we are seeking at least 60 people to hold a Blooming Great Tea Party for us and join in the celebrations.
"It's really easy to get some friends together, put the kettle on and have a lovely time at the same time as raising valuable funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care.
"It costs the charity £20 per hour to provide a Marie Curie nurse who will care for terminally ill patients in their own home."
Marie Curie Cancer Care was founded in 1948, the same year as the NHS.
