The Primrose Charity Come Dine With Me Special

The Primrose Charity Come Dine With Me Special

The Primrose Foundation would love to encourage families to host their very own, charity come dine with me dinner party throughout March. 

The idea is taken from the extremely popular channel 4 series.

It could be Mum V Dad or kids V parents or Grandparents, depending on your family and support bubble- Which family member will be crowned the best dinner party host or hostess. 

Each person takes a turn to cook and entertain the rest of the family, throughout the week or over a course of the month. Each participant scores the host out of a possible 10 points and the winner is revealed at the end.

This family fun event can easily be turned into a fundraiser, here is our quick tips on how to achieve this.

  1. Choose your team members or go head-to-head with each-other.

  2. Agree an entry fee per dinner party for your guests.

  3. Send your menus out in advance to your guests.

  4. Take in turns to host your dinner party. Scoring each host out of a possible 10 points, based on the following:

    • The evenings theme and presentation.

    • The food.

    • The entertainment.

  5. The winner is then announced at the final dinner party. The winner wins half of the proceeds and the other half is donated to The Primrose Foundation.

Sounds like a great way to have fun whilst fundraising right.

For a copy of your very own Primrose Charity Come Dine with me winner’s certificate please email us info@primrosefoundation.org

Good luck & who will be crowned our next Primrose Foundations Charity Come Dine with me winner.
