Catching up with friends can be SO important – wherever that may be (and whatever you are eating and drinking) Make time for your friends everyone!

Findings have been released by UK anti-poverty charity, The Trussell Trust, to gauge opinions on the most popular afternoon tea choices to promote Tea for Trussell, the charity’s new fundraising event sponsored by Waitrose.

Money raised through Tea for Trussell will enable The Trussell Trust to help more people break the cycle of poverty.You can host a Tea for Trussell afternoon tea at work, at home or at school to help The Trussell Trust stop UK hunger.
