Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is one of the country’s largest and most loved fundraising events, and while it officially happened on May 21, the good news is you can actually host one right through May and June.
It’s all about coming together over a cuppa, a biscuit, maybe a slice of cake… and raising money for a seriously important cause - cancer research and support services through the Cancer Council.
Because here’s the stat that really matters: almost 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
So chances are, it’s touched someone you know, love, or care about.
The idea started more than 30 years ago with a simple thought... that small gatherings can make a big difference.
And it’s grown into thousands of morning teas across workplaces, schools, homes, and community groups all over the country.
And honestly, that’s what makes it so special.
It’s not complicated, it’s not formal… it’s just people sitting down, having a chat, sharing food, and raising money that helps fund life-saving research and support.
So if you missed the official date, don’t worry... the kettle is still on, and the cause is still very much going strong.
