ABOUT

OVERVIEW
To mark 40 years of care, St John’s Hospice approached The Creative Branch to create a campaign that would celebrate their legacy while inviting new audiences to get involved in fundraising. The result was Four Tea and Fabulous, a warm, inclusive campaign centred around a simple idea - bringing people together over tea to support an important local cause.


THE CHALLENGE
St John’s Hospice plays a vital role in the community, yet like many charities, it relies heavily on fundraising to continue its work. The brief was to create a campaign that felt accessible and uplifting, supported by assets that made it easy for people to take part, while still reflecting the emotional depth of the hospice’s care.

We needed to balance sensitivity with approachability, encouraging participation without losing sight of the real impact behind every donation.

THE APPORACH
We developed a campaign concept that celebrated individuality and personality across a range of creative asset styles, expanding the existing brand into a more expressive space. Subtle touches of nostalgia added a sense of familiarity, while the overall tone remained light, engaging and fun.

We introduced:
• A playful but respectful visual direction
• Flexible campaign assets for community use
• A clear and friendly tone of voice
• Event materials designed to make hosting simple and enjoyable
• From printed booklets to decorations and digital assets, everything was created to help supporters host their own Four Tea events with confidence.


THE IMPACT
Four Tea and Fabulous gave St John’s Hospice a fresh way to engage its community during a milestone year.

The aim is to:
• Increase awareness of the hospice’s work
• Make fundraising feel approachable and inclusive
• Strengthen emotional connection through real stories
• Provide supporters with everything they need to take part

By expanding the brand into a more expressive campaign space, we helped create something that felt celebratory, human and rooted in community spirit.

" Working with The Creative Branch on our “Four Tea” campaign has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. Their ability to truly understand the heart of St John’s Hospice – and translate that into a compelling, emotionally resonant campaign – has been invaluable.
From the outset, their team demonstrated creativity, insight and a strong strategic approach, helping us shape a campaign that connected with our audience.
Their collaborative approach, responsiveness and genuine passion for our cause set them apart and we have enjoyed working with them. They didn't just deliver creative – they become part of the team, fully invested in achieving the best possible outcomes.
We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved together so far and look forward to continuing this partnership as the campaign develops further."
