RariTea Events

Raise Rare Disease Awareness: Host a RariTea event!

Raising awareness of Rare Diseases is crucial to every aspect of our work to improve services and the quality of life.  We all love a wee cuppa with our friends or when we can a lovely afternoon tea, so why not use our favourite tipple,  the good old cup of tea to help us raise awareness of this important issue!

RariTEA events coincide with the worldwide events marking International Rare Disease Day on 28 February, and our RariTEA campaign runs from the end February to mid-March  each year.

To get involved, just get together – a few individuals, an organisation, a business, a sports team – and hold a RariTEA event. It can be a posh afternoon tea or a mug of Builder’s Brew…just have some tea, and take a picture (or two) for Twitter, Instagram etc tagging @NI_RDP (Twitter or Instagram) or @NIRDPNews on Facebook, and use the hashtags #nirdp #raritea #strongertogether

Register your interest contact info@nirdp.org.uk  show that we are #StrongerTogether, and help make a difference for the rare disease community!

All money raised will go directly towards our work to help families and patients affected by rare conditions access the help and support that they need.  To find out more contact us via email at info@nirdp.org.uk 

Show your support in February and help make a difference to the lives of those affected by rare and hard to diagnose conditions.
