This Summer Leukaemia CARE, a blood cancer support charity that provides vital support to patients and their families after they have been diagnosed with a blood cancer, are excited to be getting people up and down the country together again this Summer for a ‘Perfect Picnic’.
AD | I have been or could be if you click on a link in this post compensated via a cash payment, gift or something else of value for writing this post. See our full disclosure policy and privacy policy for more details.
We thought about holding our very own perfect picnic but instead decided to combine the ‘Picnic’ part of the idea with a Street Party to celebrate the Queen’s 90th Birthday.
All you need to do is get your family and friends together for a picnic, prepare lots of tasty food and ask everyone who comes to donate whatever they can to help children with leukaemia. Â What could be easier? We also enlisted the help of Oxo Uk to throw our perfect picnic and you can win a picnic pack from them too, simply enter our competition below!
It rained obviously, but you can’t let that get in the way of an English picnic can you! Â You just put up the umbrellas and carry on regardless. If we waited for actual summer it would never actually happen!
What do you think of our picnic ideas?
The picnic pack you can win to help you create your Perfect Picnic and hopefully raise money for Leukaemia CARE contains the following items kindly donated by Oxo UK:
- Silicone Flexible Turner
Pop Out Apple Divider
12″ tongs - 3 Piece Ice Bucket Set
- Corn Holders 8 Piece
- 2 in 1 Salad Servers
- Salad Spinner
