Because supporting the community should taste this good

LifeCare Edinburgh is thrilled to announce a brand-new  Sweet Partnership Afternoon Tea fundraising event in collaboration with one of the city’s most celebrated bakeries, Lannan.

Taking place on Monday 20th October, this special event offers guests the rare opportunity to savour Lannan’s exquisite cakes and pastries in comfort – all while supporting LifeCare’s vital community services for older people across Edinburgh.

Tickets are priced at £50 per person, with all proceeds helping to fund LifeCare’s work, from delivering freshly prepared meals to providing companionship, classes, and care.

Sarah van Putten, Chief Executive of LifeCare Edinburgh, said “This event is a chance to enjoy Lannan’s truly special famous treats without the wait – and, even more importantly, to know that every slice and every sip is helping to support older people in our community. LifeCare has been providing care, connection, and companionship across Edinburgh for over 80 years.

Partnerships like this allow us to continue that work, reach more people, and remind our city that community care is something we can all be part of.”

Adding their support, Darcie Maher of Lannan said: “We’ve always been humbled by the incredible support and loyalty from our customers in our local community. Partnering with LifeCare Edinburgh felt like the perfect way to give something back. We’re excited to bring our bakes to this special Afternoon Tea, knowing that together, we’re not only creating a delicious experience but also raising vital funds to support some of the city’s most vulnerable people. Cake really can bring people together, and this time it’s for an important cause.”

Spaces are strictly limited for this unique fundraising event, and early booking is recommended. The event will be BYO.
