24 Hour Tea and Coffee Break

A cuppa can make a world of difference! ActionAid are inviting you to participate in a 24 Hour Tea and Coffee Break on Friday 29 February 2008 and help give poor farmers a break – by taking one yourself! By holding a fair trade tea or coffee morning you can support ActionAid’s work with small-scale farmers in the developing world and take action against the global injustices that keep them poor.

Taking part in the 24 Hour Tea and Coffee Break couldn’t be easier - all you need is a kettle and someone to share a cuppa with you are almost there. There are plenty of fundraising ideas on the ActionAid website to help get started, including a fundraising pack with everything you’ll need to hold an event, and a free starter pack of fair trade tea and coffee courtesy of Cafe Direct and fair trade chocolate courtesy of Divine.
