Cream Tea

Enjoy a cream tea in aid of local children’s hospice

People in Bristol are being invited to tuck into a cream tea and raise a few pounds for their local children’s hospice. The Big South West Cream Tea takes place over the August Bank Holiday weekend and organiser Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW) is asking supporters to join in by holding their own cream tea fundraiser with friends and family. “Just grab some scones, a spoonful of strawberry jam and a dollop of clotted cream – not necessarily in that order! – and join the party,” said CHSW area fundraiser Bernadette Chambers.

“You can enjoy a Great British classic at home, the park or even virtually and help raise vital funds for local families.

“It’s a lovely way to help celebrate CHSW’s 30th anniversary, and if you are able to raise £30 or more, we’ll send you a special CHSW 30th anniversary medal.” The charity, which runs three children’s hospices across the South West, including Charlton Farm just outside of Bristol, has everything you need you need to hold your own cream tea fundraiser. “Register your event on our website to receive your free fundraising pack, which includes invites, recipe, ‘#JamFirst’ and ‘#CreamFirst’ signs, donation form, bunting, thank-you cards and more,” added Bernadette.

“You’ll also find links to businesses that can deliver a cream tea straight to your front door with a donation going to CHSW. “If you’d prefer to hold your cream tea before or after the August Bank Holiday that’s absolutely fine; however and whenever you plan to take part in the Big South West Cream Tea, every penny you’re able to raise will make a real difference to children with life -limiting conditions and their families.” The Big South West Cream Tea is kindly sponsored by Happy Days Nurseries, which operates 18 nurseries throughout the South West and is also celebrating 30 years this year.

Marketing manager Rebekah Fice-Thomson said: “CHSW is very dear to our hearts, so we’re delighted to be able to support The Big South West Cream Tea fundraiser this summer.

“We are looking forward to celebrating our own 30th birthday with a cream tea on September 4 and raising as much as we can for such an important charity.” To register your cream tea event or for more information, click here.

New Cabinet Member will move transport forward in Bristol

Councillor Don Alexander appointed by Mayor Bristol has a new Cabinet Member to lead on delivering a better connected, sustainable transport network. Councillor Don Alexander, Labour Ward Councillor for Avonmouth and Lawrence Weston, will take up the role of Cabinet Member for Transport immediately. Cllr Alexander will lead on delivering the Mayor’s vision for the city’s transport network, working closely with partners such as the One City Transport Board, First Bus, Network Rail and many others to do so. Major areas of work will include supporting the development of a regional plan for a mass transit system, overseeing a £1.783m investment in post-COVID-19 walking and cycling upgrades and supporting the decarbonising of the city’s transport systems.

Marvin Rees, Mayor of Bristol, said: “Don showed during our first term that he’s a councillor who can get things done for the community he represents. I’ve asked him to join the Cabinet to bring with him that enthusiasm and drive forward our plans to deliver better-connected communities where people have transport options that link them to opportunity. “Transport is one of the biggest challenges the city has faced for generations. As with all big legacy issues such as this you need to be bold and plan for the long term. Whilst we’ve worked to bring partners together to view the challenge at a city level we’ve also been hard at work to ensure those systems work at a local level. We’ve agreed a successful bus deal, saved local transport routes from being removed and delivered greater connectivity by cycling and walking. Don’s role will be vital in ensuring our strategic ambitions don’t outstretch our local delivery.”

Cllr Alexander said: “I’m grateful to the Mayor for this opportunity to play a part in delivering his ambitious goals for the city’s transport systems. We’re fortunate to have so many eager and talented partners at the table to work with on delivering sustainable and inclusive transport options. I look forward to working with them and residents on turning our ideas into reality. “As an active bus user and a supporter of our public transport services I feel I have a good sense as to the challenges communities face in trying to connect to other parts of the city. Whilst solid foundations have been laid to introduce the infrastructure and models of transport needed to make travel cleaner and more efficient, there remain challenges to ensure our transport network works as best as it can now. This includes making sure that highway maintenance is co-ordinated, that our roads and cycleways are fit for purpose and communities have a voice to help guide local interventions to keep roads safe for all.” The next meeting of Cabinet will be on Tuesday, 13 July at 4pm and can be viewed via the council’s YouTube channel.
