Cream Tea Jamboree

Bake a difference for Deafblind UK this June!

This Deafblind Awareness Week (22-28 June 2025), it’s time to dust off your apron, plug in the whisk, and stir up some support for Deafblind UK by hosting your very own Cream Tea Jamboree!

Enjoy the sweet tang of jam, indulgent clotted cream, soft, pillowy scones and a warm, comforting cup of tea with family and friends, colleagues or your local community. Get ready to plan a delightful day of scones, cakes, tea, and a big dollop of generosity! Whether you’re a star baker or a shop-bought hero (we won’t tell!), you’ll be helping raise vital funds to support people living with sight and hearing loss.

Host at home or hire your local village hall. Dust off your finest china or grab the paper plates. Whatever you choose, your Cream Tea Jamboree is sure to be a sweet success!

Join the Cream Tea Jamboree today and receive your FREE fundraising kit, jam-packed with everything you need to host a tea-riffic event.

Recipe for success

Pick a date: most Cream Tea Jamborees will be taking place during Deafblind Awareness week (22-28 June 2025), but you can host whenever suits you.
Choose a venue: host a tea party, bake sale, or coffee morning at home, your workplace or local community space.
Make it a jamboree: use the fundraising kit and downloadable resources to make your Cream Tea Jamboree a proper party.
Scones a plenty: make sure you have lots of tea, scones, jam, cream and other sweet treats ready for your guests.
Invites: share your scones with friends old and new, it’s impossible not to be friends once you’ve shared a pot of tea.
Raise some dough: every cake, scone and ‘what are those’ helps support deafblind people across the UK!

The Great Scone Debate: Cornish vs Devon

It’s the age-old cream tea conundrum that’s divided friends, families, and entire counties… Scon or scone? Jam or cream first?

Cornish style? Jam first, then cream. A sweet, ruby-red base topped with a generous dollop of clotted heaven.

Devon style? Cream first, then jam. A silky, rich layer ready to cradle that fruity finish.

However you say it (or spread it!), there’s one thing we can all agree on – cake tastes even sweeter when it’s for a good cause! (we call that, guilt-free calories).
