TV presenter Sian Welby has joined forces with The Sick Children's Trust to encourage people to get involved with the charity's annual fundraiser, Big Chocolate Tea.

The initiative asks people to host a tea party, cake sale or bake-off in the last week of April, and donate the proceeds to The Sick Children's Trust. Welby commented 'Dust off your apron; crack those eggs and let’s make a difference to thousands of families with sick children. By taking part in Big Chocolate Tea, you can keep them together with their sick child, as they face the most difficult times'.
