Calling all Afternoon Tea fans because Morrisons has announce their popular Tommy Tea Afternoon Tea box will be returning, to help customers celebrate VE day on the 8th May - and support Royal British Legion Industries with an afternoon tea party to mark the occasion. How good is that?
The boxes have been created to support the Royal British Legion Industries’ VE Day campaign, with £1 from every Tommy Tea Afternoon Tea food box purchased going to the charity to provide support to the UK’s most vulnerable veterans. The money raised will help them get into safe homes, vital employment opportunities and offer the support they need to get back on their feet.
The box is available from the Morrisons Food Box website now, until 10th May. It is priced at £20, with customers able to add a bottle of prosecco for £25 or a bottle of champagne for £37.
Containing all you need to make the most of the good weather and enjoy a traditional afternoon tea at home, the box features products from Morrisons The Best range including All Butter Sultana Scones, Strawberry Conserve and Sparkling Sicilian Lemonade. Each box will also contain a leaflet with information about the charity and how customers can get involved to fundraise and support.
The term Tommy has been used for many years to refer to a British Soldier, with German and French troops often calling the name out over the trenches during World War I, to speak with a British Soldier.
The launch of the Tommy Tea Box falls in line with the start of RBLI’s Tommy’s Race to Victory – a national event which sees a team of military veterans and serving personnel run and cycle more than 800 miles over 9 days throughout the UK, stopping off at major cities and military locations in the run up to VE Day.
