The Great Cornish Cuppa and Cake Returns on 26th June 2026

Could a Simple Cuppa Change Lives Across Cornwall?

People across Cornwall are being invited to take part in a county-wide fundraising event that centres around one of Britain’s favourite traditions, a cup of tea and a slice of cake.

The Great Cornish Cuppa and Cake will take place on 26th June 2026, encouraging individuals, workplaces and communities to come together to support Royal Cornwall Hospitals Charity.

What is The Great Cornish Cuppa and Cake?

The event is designed as a simple but meaningful way to raise funds. People can host anything from a tea party at home to a workplace coffee morning or a cake sale in a village hall.

Every gathering, no matter the size, will contribute towards supporting care at Royal Cornwall, St Michael’s and West Cornwall Hospitals.

Why the Support Matters

Funds raised through the event will go towards areas that sit outside of the NHS budget. These include elements that help improve the overall experience for patients, families and staff.

This could mean funding enhancements that lift spirits, improve care and make hospital environments more welcoming.

How the Contributions Help

Money raised during the event could support several areas, including:

• Improving patient care through specialist equipment, enhanced treatments and better support services
• Supporting staff wellbeing with wellbeing spaces, training and mental health resources
• Creating more welcoming hospital environments with art, gardens and comfortable seating
• Funding life-saving research that leads to improved treatments and outcomes
