With the help of charity Cricket Builds Hope and the Rwanda Cricket Association (RCA) we’re making cricket coaching available to schools and young people on four Rwandan tea estates over the next three years, starting with Gisovu Tea Estate in the Western Province of Rwanda.
We've been working with others to make big changes in Kenya
It's the fourth year of our Yorkshire Tree campaign - which involves us planting a million new trees in the UK and Kenya.
It’s our fifth year partnering with grassroots cricket charity Chance to Shine, so this year’s Yorkshire Tea National Cricket Week was extra special. Taking place from June 18-22, thousands of children took part in our celebration of cricket – with hundreds of events and activities hosted by schools and communities across England and Wales.
We’ve got some big bits of news to share about plastic. The plastic we’ve been using to seal our tea bags is going to be replaced with a renewable plant-based material. We’re starting to switch over now, and the aim is that all our UK tea bags will have switched by the end of 2019.
We are proud to support the Ethical Tea Partnership and have been providing essential funding since 2014 to support the ETP - UNICEF Improving Lives Programme in Assam, which is helping to improve the safety of girls living in tea communities across Assam.
