It’s our birthday! And we’d love you to help us celebrate.

The NHS marks its 77th birthday on Saturday 5 July 2025. This year, to celebrate, we'd love our community to host their own NHS Big Tea parties, and help raise funds for Hampshire Hospitals Charity.

Let your imagination run wild! You could:

• host a tea party for friends and family in your home or garden

• plan a cake sale, homemade or shop bought (it really doesn’t matter which!), at your workplace

• run your very own team bake off with your community group

Plan whatever suits you to raise money for Hampshire Hospitals Charity, to help fund equipment and support for patients and staff at our hospitals across Basingstoke, Winchester and Andover.

When?

One day is not enough to celebrate a birthday like this so, we’d love to spread this activity out across the week. Host your event anywhere from Monday 30 June to Sunday 6 July.

Help us mark this this important occasion in the calendar and let’s cover Hampshire with tea and cake!
