Blue Sunday 2024 for ANZMES

Join the ME/CFS community on Sunday 19th May as we come together to have a Tea Party For M.E.

• Dig out your favourite mug, or your best cups and saucers

• Wear something blue (pyjamas count!)

• Have a slice of cake, or two. It can be bought or baked, and if your own dietary requirements limit you from eating cake then you can switch cake for whatever works best for you

• If you can, the price you'd pay for tea and cake to an M.E. charity.

• Post a photo of your tea party set-up to social media. This allows those who are joining in by themselves to feel a part of something bigger. It breaks the isolation that we all feel when we are too unwell to be with people in-person

• Chat online with others doing the exact same thing. Swap recipes. Like photos. Comment on the gorgeous tea sets that others are using

• Follow the hashtags #BlueSunday2024 and #TeaPartyForME2024 or use the dedicated Facebook event to see everyone else's tea party related posts.

With no right or wrong way to join in on Blue Sunday, I hope you'll find a way that works for you.

It's about feeling a part of what is surely the most resilient community out there. And raising a tonne of money while we do that.
