A question that seems to cause much controversy and which nobody ever seems to agree on! Do you put the cream first, or the jam? The Cornish way or the Devonshire way? However you prefer, there is no better way to enjoy a scone than with good company and paired with a good cup of tea!

The good weather and warmer days are in sight and what more could you desire than a delicious freshly baked scone with plenty of jam and cream piled on, served with a good cuppa to sip with it! Yes please! And can you think of a tastier way to raise some money for us than hosting your own ‘Cream Tea Month’ fundraiser this June?

During the month of June, we are asking YOU to gather a few friends or family, provide some homemade or bought scones and ask for a small donation in return! Very simple – but happy faces all round! It is completely up to you how big your event is – it could be as big as hiring a community space such as a church hall and making your event big, or it could be a work fundraiser, or perhaps you could hold a small gathering at your house? Anything that helps raise a few pounds is a really appreciated – no matter how big or small the total!

Tell us if you intend to take part in this June’s ‘Cream Tea Month’ – and if you aren’t able to hold one yourself, look out for other people who may be holding one that you can attend. In the meantime check out this ‘Guide to the Perfect Cream Tea’ from Roddas.
