brentford is brilliant
Posted 25th November 2011 by Nicole
Hi, teapig Nicole here. As you may already know, each teapig has to raise £500 for our ethical scheme and I started my fundrasing right on the office's front door at Brentford's first ever Christmas Market! I was serving cups of our lovely spiced winter tea and selling packs of tea with all profits going to help the children at Noel Orphanage. I raised £171 which is great start and has got me well under way to my £500. Many thanks to the good people of Brentford for all your kind donations. Keep a eye on the website blog for my next fund raising event, which will be a teapigs tea party!
Running For Rwanda
Posted 11th October 2011 by Sofia
Latest teapigs recruit Hayley added to the teapigs Rwanda fund on Sunday by completing her first ever marathon – and with an extremely respectable time of 4 hours 15 minutes! We think she is brilliant! A mixture of sunshine and showers, a couple of hills and a 2 mile long Mersey tunnel ensured that by the end of the run a totally knackered, rain drenched teapig was able to find a final bit of energy to sprint over the line and was just about able to raise a smile too for her efforts and the money that has been raised so far.
After a day’s recovery yesterday, a wobbly-legged Hayley is back in the office and feeling slightly worse for wear today. All worthwhile though and nothing that a welcoming round of applause from fellow teapigs and a few cups of strong English Breakfast tea couldn’t help overcome (and possibly a couple of biscuits too!)
Fundraising is going well but the magic target of £500 can still be helped towards here. This isn’t the end for speedy teapigs either as Katie is taking part in the Great South Run later this month to raise even more funds for the Noel Orphanage….keep an eye on our blog for more news!
Do Lectures
Posted 2nd September 2011 by Nick
Once again teapigs are very proud to have been official tea supplier to the annual Do Lectures which were recently held at fforest Farm in Cilgerran, Wales. This truly is a life changing event, a gathering of minds from all over the world to share ideas and inspire us all to do something which, maybe, we never thought possible. The lectures will soon be available for all to see but to get a feel for Do and listen to some of the previous year's speakers just click here.
