EastEnders star and former Southampton FC player to attend Breast Cancer Haven charity tea party in Titchfield

Christopher Timothy, star of EastEnders, will appear at a cancer charity tea party.

Breast Cancer Haven, in The Square, in Titchfield, will host its ‘Big Tea Party’ from 10am to midday and 2pm to 4pm on Tuesday, March 24.

Actor Christopher Timothy, who played Mac McGuire in Doctors and Ted Murray in EastEnders, will attend to support the charity, joined by former Southampton FC player Paul Jones.

Ellie Hughes, community fundraiser at Breast Cancer Haven, said: ‘With a wide range of mouth-watering homemade cakes and savouries, great raffle prizes and of course plenty of tea and coffee available, it promises to be a real feel-good community event.

‘Every cup of tea sold and slice of cake enjoyed will help people going through one of the most difficult times of their lives.’

Last year the tea party attracted over 100 people and raised more than £3,600 for those affected by breast cancer.

Since opening in 2015, Breast Cancer Haven centres across the country have supported more than 1,300 people.
