As summer unfolds, Devon Hampers is once again demonstrating how good food can do more than just delight the taste buds—it can also make a profound difference to the lives of those who need it most. Following a successful Christmas collaboration, the award-winning hamper company has deepened its partnership with Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW), launching a special, limited-edition Children’s Hospice Cream Tea Hamper just in time for the Summer.
The connection between Devon Hampers and CHSW began through a mutual contact at Taste of the West. As Gaby Wakley of Devon Hampers recounts, “When you hear about the care they provide to children with life-limiting conditions and their families across the South West, you can’t help but be moved. These are real families going through unimaginably difficult times, and this local charity is there for them every step of the way.” This immediate understanding of CHSW’s vital work fuelled Devon Hampers’ desire to collaborate with such an “exceptional charity.”
The overwhelming positive response to their Christmas initiative was a powerful indicator of the community’s generosity. “The response to our Christmas partnership was great, and it showed us just how much our local producers, suppliers and our customers care about supporting this brilliant charity,” Gaby noted. This surge of support only solidified their commitment to helping raise much-needed funds for their essential services.
Now that National Cream Tea Day (June 27th) has kicked off the summer season, Devon Hampers has unveiled the perfect treat that combines Westcountry indulgence with heartfelt giving. Their Children’s Hospice South West Cream Tea hamper, available throughout July, promises a delicious taste of the region delivered straight to your door. The best part? A significant £5 from each hamper sold will be donated directly to CHSW.
This initiative offers the perfect excuse for friends and colleagues to gather in the sunshine, whether they’re enjoying Wimbledon, catching Glastonbury replays, or cheering on the Lionesses at the Euros. With classic Devon scones, clotted cream, and jam, the only dilemma will be deciding if it’s jam or cream first.
For Devon Hampers, this partnership is a natural extension of their core philosophy. As Gaby succinctly puts it, “For us, it’s simple really, good food should bring people together and make a difference. That’s what this partnership is all about.” Every Children’s Hospice South West Cream Tea Hamper sold and every direct donation via their website ensures more funds go straight to CHSW, enabling them to continue their amazing work with the families who need them most.
