Why not help raise vital cash for the Helen Rollason Cancer Charity by joining the annual fundraising event 'Tea for Helen' in February?

The campaign, which was supported by BBC's Clare Balding, launched last year and raised in excess of £25,000 for the Helen Rollason Cancer Charity. The charity funds vital research into the disease and support centres for those living with cancer. Anglia Ruskin University's Chelmsford Campus is home to a Helen Rollason Research Laboratory, which was opened in April 2003. The centres are a valued part of a cancer journey offering a range of therapies and support through a difficult period in people's lives.

Backing the campaign for the second year is Tetley Tea, who has kindly donated tea bags for the registration packs. In addition, Wilkin & Sons have once again donated 500 jars of their Little Scarlet jam being sold for £1 (RRP £3.45). The idea is that once you've eaten the pot of jam you fill it up with money raised at your tea party and send it back to the Helen Rollason Cancer Charity.

You can claim your £1 pot of Little Scarlet* at the following places:

• Helen Rollason Charity shops: check online to find your nearest store

• Cancer support centres - check online to find your nearest centre

• Charity office at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, Essex CM1 7ET

TV presenter and former tennis pro Andrew Castle is supporting this year's campaign alongside former England footballer Trevor Brooking, who said: "Tea for Helen is a great campaign offering everyone a chance to get involved and raise funds for such a wonderful cause. Why not hold a tea party and see how much you can raise?"

Register your tea party now by downloading a registration form from www.helenrollason.org.uk or calling the charity office on 01245 514325.

*Little Scarlet subject to availability and only available at the £1 promotional price through Helen Rollason outlets.
