Fancy a cuppa? Children's charity launches 'Tea with a twist!'
CHILDREN'S
charity Action Medical Research is again calling on residents and businesses in
Merseyside to enjoy a cuppa as part of its annual fundraising Cream Teas in a
Box campaign.
Wonderfully scrumptious and refreshing British cream teas will be delivered
directly to workplaces, schools and colleges on Thursday, 18 June 2015.
This year, the perfect afternoon pick me up (which comes in a box priced just
£6) will contain 2 freshly baked scones, 2 small jars of strawberry jam, Rodda's Cornish clotted cream, and
3 strawberry crème chocolates, as well as
the more traditional Yorkshire Tea, knife and serviette.
Tracey Edwards, Action's Cream Tea Events Manager, says:- "Come on
Merseyside, take a break! Place the minimum order of 10 to bond over a brew with
friends and colleagues and help raise funds for sick babies and children. The
choice of scone topping is yours – jam and/or cream, or maybe have 'tea with a
twist' and choose banana and chocolate sprinkles!"
The charity's mascot, Paddington Bear™, likes his scones piled high with
marmalade, Dr Dawn Harper, from Channel 4's Embarrassing Bodies, likes hers with
more 'real strawberry' than jam and BBC Correspondent Katie Adie likes a
'classic' (with jam either on top or underneath).
Celebrity chef Lesley Waters is once again supporting the Action Cream Teas.
Well known for her regular television appearances on Ready Steady Cook and This
Morning, Lesley is also a former head tutor of Leith's School of Food & Wine,
author of several cookery books and runs her own cookery school. Lesley's
'twist' is that she's often partial to a savoury scone with cheese and her
home made tamarind, pear and date chutney.
She says:- "I'm delighted to be supporting Action Medical Research's Cream
Teas because, quite simply, they taste delicious. Traditional fare for a perfect
afternoon; splendid! Just put the kettle on, relax, have a chat and help raise
vital funds for the children's charity."
To get it, you must order
online by 5 June 2015.
Did you know that:-
Research is the key to saving many children from a lifetime of suffering, yet surprisingly, medical research into conditions that devastate children's lives is poorly funded? Action Medical Research is currently funding work around stillbirth, epilepsy, meningitis, cerebral palsy and brain cancer, as well as some rare and distressing conditions that severely affect children.
