Whether it’s lapsang souchong or a mug of builders’, it’s hard to beat a nice cup of tea. Unless it’s a nice cup of tea that could help make a fairer world.
It’s Tea Time. And this year absolutely everyone is invited.
On 19 September, we’re asking people across the world to get together, put the kettle on and help give poor communities the chance of a better future.
What is Tea Time?
It’s a unique fundraising event that puts the tea in the fight against poverty.
Last year, the first ever Christian Aid Tea Time saw more than 2,000 tea parties from Sheffield to Sri Lanka raise an incredible £195,000.
This year we’d love to beat that total. And all you have to do to help is invite your friends, family, colleagues or neighbours to join you for a cuppa on 19 September. Send them an invitation now!
You can host your Tea Time anywhere you like – at home, in the office, your local hall, or somewhere more adventurous. Last year one Tea Time took place up a church tower.
It could be a posh do with hundreds of guests, or your best pals and a cracked old teapot. Just ask everyone to give a donation to Christian Aid in return for a refreshing brew and a tasty biscuit or two. Simple.
What’s it all for?
The money you raise will help us in our mission to end poverty across the world.
Christian Aid works in around 50 countries, helping people, irrespective of religion, to tackle the problems they face and build the life they deserve. We can’t think of a better reason to take a tea break.
