Our Black Friday ChariTEA Wishlist

We promised you we would be doing Black Friday a little differently Teabirds....This year helping to End Youth Homelessness is the only thing on our Black Friday Wishlist! 

A message from our Co-founder Krisi: 

‘Hopefully it won’t come as a surprise to our community that having a huge Black Friday Sale doesn’t really align with our ethics. That is why over the busiest sales weekend of our year you won't see us shouting loudly about discounts, sale & slashed prices, instead we've decided to use our platform to shout about the fantastic work our ChariTEA of the Quarter, End Youth Homelessness, is doing instead.

We’ve focused on delivering the easiest way for you to join us in our support for this awesome cause by adding a simple donation to our website, that is the equivalent to just one cup of tea. Our combined donations will help the charity deliver vital essentials that a young person may need  to help them through a tough day, from warm drinks to 1:1 counselling sessions, ‘move-on’ packs full of the essentials they need to get back on their feet & clothes to wear to interviews.

Love & Tea, Krisi’ 

A little about the ChariTEA:

“End Youth Homelessness is a UK-wide movement of local charities that have joined forces to tackle youth homelessness together. It provides a national platform to raise awareness, share experiences and generate voluntary income.

The impact of COVID-19 has put young people’s futures at threat, and a surge in youth homelessness is expected. With 16-24’s being the worst hit group financially, it’s crucial they get the support they need.

The funds they raise help our members to increase their capacities, services and sustainability in extremely challenging times. Our member charities house and support over 40,000 young people facing homelessness. 

110,000 young people faced homelessness last year. End Youth Homelessness is a national movement of local youth homelessness charities, working to put an end to this once and for all.”

Below we’ve added a ‘Our Black Friday ChariTEA Wishlist’, this is what each £2.50 donation could contribute towards for a young person in need. We hope that by lots of you donating just one cup of tea, we can make a real difference to people's lives and help End Youth Homelessness together. See the list below for what different amounts could provide.
