Operation Cup of Tea is Back!

Do you remember Operation Cup of Tea, responding to the London Riots in 2012?

In just one day, volunteers, local charities and community groups served over 1000 cups of tea to local residents and visitors whilst providing a positive space for people to drop by and for the community to come together.

In the summer of 2017 following the Grenfell Tower Fire, Operation Cup of Tea created a regular hub in Tavistock Square to provide a friendly face, local information and a heart-warming cuppa to anyone who’d like it.

We are relaunching Operation Cup of Tea starting from Friday 20th July 2018 at Tavistock Square.

The stall will provide local residents the opportunity to drop by, enjoy a free cup of tea and act as an informal space for people to talk. Information regarding local services and summer activities for families will also be on hand for organisations to distribute on the day.

Operation Cup of Tea Info

Want to get involved? Organisations and groups are invited to participate in Operation Cup of Tea, to share information with the local community on what support is on offer. We will be in Tavistock Square every Friday 10am-3pm until the end of September.

We would love to host your project! Come along to share your work with the public. To book a space contact Nadia at nadia.nail@vckc.org.uk by Wednesday 24th July 2018.
