A CHARITY tea party was organised by MSP Bruce Crawford earlier this month.

The event at Stirling Enterprise Park raised more than £100 for Marie Curie with home bakes and hot beverages – leftover cakes were donated to Fairview care Home in Bannockburn.

The MSP said: “The Marie Curie tea party was a great success and gave employees throughout STEP and members of the public the chance to come in, sit down with a cuppa and a scone, and help raise much-needed funds for this great charity.

“I’m grateful to the Marie Curie organisers who helped put this event together - as well as to those who helped bake a fantastic variety of cakes for the occasion.”
