If giving back to your community is where your passions lie, we also have a strong philanthropic program that supports local charities.

Cawc

One of the highlights of the social calendar at CAWC is the May Tea Party and this year was no exception. A full house turned out at a spectacular event held in the beautiful grounds of Missenden Abbey in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire.

Members entered into the fun by designing themed tables and decorating them in wonderfully imaginative and impressive ways. A delicious Afternoon Tea was served, and members had the opportunity of visiting the grounds and the walled garden. Much fun was had browsing and shopping the several artisan vendors as well as chatting and socialising with friends. A prize raffle was held and lucky winners took home some gorgeous prizes donated throughout the year by our vendors. All the proceeds of the raffle will go to our chosen charity.

CAWC International is delighted to be supporting the charity, Carers Bucks. We will be raising money to support 1,800 young people aged 5-25 throughout the Buckinghamshire area who give unpaid support and care to their loved ones.
