Funds raised from Australia’s Biggest Morning tea help support, through the Cancer Council, livesaving cancer research, prevention, advocacy and support programs as well as subsidised transport to medical appointments.

Northern rivers residents are invited to host a morning tea and gather friends, family or colleagues to share food and give support to people affected by cancer. Visit www.biggestmorningtea.com.au or call 1300 65 65 85.

For example, the Fig Tree Restaurant (named after its historical 150-year-old fig tree) is hosting an event on Tuesday 22 May to which a multitude of sponsors have donated prizes this year, including Victoria’s at Ewingsdale, Brookfarm, The Book Room Collective and The Farm, just to name a few.

Katie Buczynski of Fig Tree says, ‘Byron Bay is an extremely close community where we support invaluable charities such as this. Each year our event showcases the baking talent and traditions of our local country community in support of the Cancer Council. Expect to taste authentic home baking at its finest.’
