Time 4 Tea for Meningitis UK

12:30pm Saturday 13th August 2011


TEA and cake lovers in Yeovil are being urged to brew and bake next month for a tasty fundraising initiative.

September’s the time to get creative in the kitchen for Meningitis UK’s latest event – Time 4 Tea.

Celebrity cake-maker and best-selling cookery writer Mary Berry has put forward her favourite cake recipe – Ginger and Treacle Spiced Traybake – to encourage everyone to indulge in some culinary action.

All sorts of tasty tea-themed events are possible, from tea dances to teddy bears’ picnics.

Money raised from Time 4 Tea will go towards Meningitis UK’s Search 4 a Vaccine Campaign which funds cutting-edge research to find a vaccine to eradicate all forms of the disease.

Mary, who is appearing as a judge on BBC 1’s Great British Bake-off later in the year, said: “Meningitis is the disease which parents fear most. As a mother and a grandmother, to find a vaccine which would protect future generations would be a wonderful achievement, which is why I’m honoured to be supporting Time 4 Tea." Party balloons, colourful bunting and a selection of Twinings tea samples will be sent to anyone who registers for a tea party pack with invitations, a collection box and a fundraiser’s guide featuring Mary Berry’s cake recipe.

A range of delicious new cupcake recipes kindly provided by Country Cupcakes are also available on the charity’s website www.meningitisuk.org/time4tea.
