A partnership between Stockbridge bakers, Lannan, and charity LifeCare has raised almost £3,000 for the charity’s lifeline services.

The afternoon tea was a sell-out, held at the charity’s café in Stockbridge and featuring the exquisite Lannan pastries and cakes. There was live piano music all serving to raise much needed funds for the charity. Now as Christmas approaches Lannan will donate their traditional trifles for LifeCare’s Community Christmas Lunches – and there are already two Afternoon Teas planned for 2026.

Darcie Maher of Lannan, said: “It’s been such a pleasure to partner with LifeCare. This was our first event of its kind, and we couldn’t have chosen a better partner. We’ve had the privilege of seeing and hearing about the incredible work they do firsthand, and we’re so pleased to have been able to contribute. We look forward to building on this success and continuing to make a difference, one slice at a time!”

Claire Montgomery, LifeCare’s Fundraising Manager, added: “We’re over the moon with the success of this first Sweet Partnership Afternoon Tea with Lannan. The generosity of everyone involved – from our guests and volunteers to the wonderful team at Lannan – has helped raise essential funds and awareness for our work. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back next year for not one, but two, tasty events – and book now for those Christmas trifles!”

Tickets for LifeCare’s upcoming Community Christmas Lunches on the 9th, 10th, 18th and 19th of Dec are now available – but spaces are limited, so book early while you still can. £18 pp including a donation towards spreading Christmas cheer.  Call 0131 343 0940, email [email protected] or visit the LifeCare hub on Cheyne Street to book.
