My story

Welcome to the fundraising page for Phoenix Trading Butterfly Tea Parties

Throughout the country, Phoenix Traders are organising Butterfly Tea Parties in support of children’s hospices in the UK. Phoenix Traders bring along their cards and stationery to informal and fun events, and a donation from the sales goes to Together for Short Lives.

This page is where Phoenix Traders, together with their customers and supporters, can come together to donate to this worthwhile charity.

Butterfly Tea Party 2013
By popular demand, Phoenix Traders and their customers will be holding Butterfly Tea Parties in support of Together for Short Lives (formerly Children’s Hospices UK) throughout the month of May and, with their exceedingly generous donations, we hope we will achieve our new ambitious target by the end of the year. We have reset the target on this page to be £380,340.00 as we are hoping to add another £50,000 this year, including ‘off-line’ donations (see explanation below), to the phenomenal amount of money raised as a result of Butterfly Tea Parties in 2009, 2010 and 2011. We would be delighted if you would like to get involved and participate in this nationwide initiative, and support this very worthwhile cause.
 
In addition to the work done by Phoenix Traders, to swell the fundraising coffers, Phoenix Trading has produced a specific charity card, which is anticipated to be the top sellers for the month of May. Phoenix Trading will be making a 50p donation for every one of these charity cards sold. 
 
If you wish to support this charity by holding a tea party of your own, please contact your local Trader, call our Customer Service Department on 020 8875 9944, or check out our website www.phoenix-trading.co.uk for further information.

Butterfly Tea Party – the story so far
This page was originally set up in 2009 to support a special initiative whereby Phoenix Traders held fundraising Butterfly Tea Parties the length and breadth of the UK throughout the months of September 2009, June 2010 and May 2011. The target is an amalgamation of the sums raised to date, with an additional £50,000 that we hope to raise this year.

This page also shows ‘off-line’ donations made by the company and via Phoenix Traders’ own individual JustGiving pages in support of Children’s Hospices UK. For a full picture of where all the donations came from, please visit the Phoenix International Charity Website http://phoenixinternationalcharity.org/united-kingdom/butterfly-tea-party-2010/butterfly-tea-party-activity.

Other fundraising for Together for Short Lives
In addition to our Butterfly Tea Party charity months, since 2009 Phoenix Trading has also donated a proportion of the funds raised through the sale of an exclusive range of Phoenix Trading Christmas cards to Together for Short Lives.

The Phoenix International Charity and Phoenix Trading are proud to support Together for Short Lives and help raise much needed funding for children with life-threatening or life-limiting conditions, and their families.
