CREAM tea lovers in Barry will have a fresh chance to indulge this summer when children’s charity Action Medical Research runs its hugely popular cream teas in a box scheme for a second time.

After the sweet success of its first delivery, which saw 156 deliveries of cream teas delivered to homes, schools and workplaces in Barry, the charity is running a second delivery in August.

Action Medical Research is calling on residents and businesses across the country to take a break and enjoy a cuppa as part of its unique fundraising campaign.

Its delicious British cream teas in a box – which contain scones, Tiptree strawberry jam, Rodda’s Cornish clotted cream and three strawberry creme chocolates, as well as the more traditional Yorkshire Tea, knife and serviette – will be delivered on Friday, August 7.

Now is the time to sign up for the perfect afternoon pick-me-up, which comes in a box priced just £6 to make sure you get them before they’re scone.

“The reaction to our initial cream teas in a box campaign was so overwhelming that we’ve decided to bring the deliveries back by popular demand,” says Tracey Edwards, Action’s Cream Tea Events Manager.

“All you have to do is order by Thursday, July 30 and your cream tea will be delivered to your door on Friday, August 7. The minimum order is for 10 boxes, so why not get together with friends or colleagues to share a delicious treat and raise funds for sick babies and children?

“It’s also the perfect way to say thank you to someone by giving them the chance to take a break and put the kettle on while our scrumptious cream teas are delivered to the door.”

Ordering one of Action Medical Research’s cream teas in a box will help the charity’s work to save and change the lives of babies and children.

Action Medical Research is currently funding research around stillbirth, epilepsy, meningitis, cerebral palsy and brain cancer, as well as some rare and distressing conditions that severely affect children.
