One of Scotland's favourite treats has switched its iconic red and silver foil for a new purple wrapping.
Tunnock's Tea Cakes fans will now be able to get a hold of their favourite in the new colour packaging, and don't worry it's for a great cause.
The firm have created a limited edition batch of over 1,000 of the purple foil wrapped tea cakes in a bid to raise awareness and funds for Pancreatic Cancer Action Scotland.
Part of Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, some lucky bidders will be able to get their hands on a three month’s supply of the exclusive limited-edition chocolate treats.
This year the charity has decided to make some boxes of the tea cakes available to lucky bidders, via an online auction - details for which can be found here: https://givergy.uk/justemploymentlaw
The biscuits have been donated to Pancreatic Cancer Action Scotland (PCAS), who picked up them up from Tunnock’s factory in Uddingston.
The prized purple wrapped treats come in a standard Tunnock’s box containing 36 tea cakes, and a total of 28 boxes were collected by the charity.
This is the fourth year Tunnock’s have supported pancreatic cancer awareness month with their specially wrapped tea cakes.
The special auction has been organised by Glasgow-based Law Firm, Just Employment Law (JEL), who are also supporters of PCAS.
The boxes of Tunnock’s goodies will join other exclusive auction items such as rare signed books, albums, sporting memorabilia, golf day experiences and hotel breaks.
All proceeds from the online auction will go to PCAS. The auction opened on 1 November and will close on Thursday 19 November – World Pancreatic Cancer Day - you can find more information on Pancreatic Cancer Action Scotland here: https://pancreaticcanceraction.org/about/scotland/
Fiona Brown, Development Manager of PCS, said, “Everyone loves Tunnock’s Tea Cakes and we are honoured to have our very own limited edition version. Having such fantastic support from a world famous brand like Tunnock’s attracts lots of attention, sparking conversations that help raise much needed awareness of pancreatic cancer.
"Our supporters continue to inspire us with innovative ways of raising funds virtually this year.
"The online auction hosted by our friends at Just Employment Law is the perfect platform for sharing some of these special purple goodies and I’m sure there will be some interesting bids!”
Fergus Loudon, Director, Tunnock’s, said: “Tunnock’s are once again delighted to support November Pancreatic Cancer awareness month.
"Sir Boyd Tunnock has pledged over 1000 purple foil wrapped Tea Cakes to help promote and raise valuable funds for this very worthwhile cause.”
