Yorkshire Family Support Children’s Charity Cream Teas Campaign

UK-wide children’s charity Action Medical Research is delighted to announce the return of its annual Cream Teas campaign.

People across Yorkshire are invited to take a break, have a brew (with some Yorkshire Tea of course) and help our fight for tiny lives.

Launched nationally in 2014, the initiative has so far helped raise more than £190,000 to fund groundbreaking medical research to help sick babies and children.

“We are delighted to get this year’s fundraiser underway across the UK” says Action’s Chief Cream Tea Coordinator Gina Campbell.

“We’re encouraging people to take time out of their busy lives and enjoy a delicious cream team with their friends, family or work colleagues.

Elijah’s story

Action funds desperately needed research to help save and change the lives of sick babies and children. Children like Elijah from Sheffield.

Elijah was born prematurely at only 25 weeks; he sadly lost his fight for life at just 37 days old.

His Mum Jenny says supporting charities like Action can make a difference for future families:

“Elijah led a very traumatic little life. He died sleeping on my chest in the small hours – that’s when I joined the fight to stop premature birth.”

Jenny’s is just one story. Each year in the UK 61,000 babies are born too soon and 1,000 babies don’t survive.

Ms Campbell explains:

“By ordering your cream teas you can help us raise funds for research that could help families like Elijah’s across the country.”
