Calling All Tea Companies: Can You Do Something Special For Charity?

Today I was contacted by a lovely man called Joel from a tea company called Stir and Sip.

Stir and Sip are a unique company because it's 100% not for profit. Their aims and goals are simple: any profit they make from the sale of their tea's go to their local homeless drop in centre. The funds that are sent to the centre go towards providing homeless people with a much needed hot drink and hot meal.

The profits that Stir and Sip make go to their local charity Spitalfields Crypt Trust that was established in 1965 and who offer a drop in service for homeless people and provide support to those who are recovering from addiction.

Stir and Sip sell a variety of different tea's that come from across the world, both black tea and green tea. Their supplier is also from a non profit background, and who send their profits to help educate children in Darjeeling.

Stir and Sip are calling on all tea companies to follow in their footsteps and back an exciting initiative which is fairly simple to do, but could mean such a lot to a great many people.

In the week starting the 13th October 2014 Stir and Sip are asking tea companies to choose ONE blend of their tea and donate the profits to their local homeless charity. It's as simple as that. So, for every box of Earl Grey, English Breakfast or Afternoon Tea (or, any blend you want to!) sold, you will be helping those less fortunate, and who are in desperate need of a hot cup of tea and a meal. 

As the year progresses and the weather starts to turn, any donations that you could send to a homeless shelter could do so much, whether it be feeding someone, providing a bed for them or just giving them the opportunity to keep warm. And this is particularly vital over the winter months and in particular the Christmas period. 

Any of us that have been to our major cities will probably have seen those sleeping out on the streets in the most horrendous weather, and it's hard not to feel moved by their circumstances. 

If you'd like any further information then please contact Joel through Stir and Sip's contact page.
