Blue Sunday, The Tea Party for M.E. - 18 May 2025

Champion fundraiser Anna Redshaw's Blue Sunday Tea Party is back for 2025!

What is Blue Sunday?

Blue Sunday is an event set up by Anna Redshaw, who has ME, to fundraise for ME charities and break the isolation so often experienced by people affected by the illness.

Since the first Blue Sunday event in 2013, Anna has raised over £140,000 for ME charities across the world!

When is Blue Sunday?

Date: Sunday 18 May 2025

Location: Online

How can I take part?

Join Anna and Action for ME on 18 May to raise vital funds for people living with ME, whilst enjoying tea, cake, and connecting with the community.

Taking part in this year's Blue Sunday event is simple! You can:

  • wear something blue (pyjamas count!)
  • dig out your best cups and saucers
  • bake or buy your favourite cake
  • post a photo of your tea party setup on social media
  • invite others to enjoy tea and cake with you in-person, via video call, or by sharing photos
  • donate the price you'd pay in a cafe to an ME charity of your choice
  • connect with others online who are doing the same, by commenting on their posts.

You can do one, a few, or all of the above to show your support for the ME community!
