Filling your kettle is a doddle. You just need to step across the kitchen and turn a tap on. But some people have to walk miles. It's true for lots of villages in Rwanda, where people often need to walk up to 4km twice a day over lots of hills to get their hands on clean water.
Some of our tea bags have been misbehaving. If it’s happened to you, we’re really, really sorry – here’s a bit of an explanation about why. Our tea bags were sealed with oil-based plastic – and we’re switching that to a renewable plant-based material which is much more environmentally friendly to dispose of. Yorkshire Gold has switched already and Yorkshire Tea is part way through.
With the help of charity Cricket Builds Hope and the Rwanda Cricket Association (RCA) we’re making cricket coaching available to schools and young people on four Rwandan tea estates over the next three years, starting with Gisovu Tea Estate in the Western Province of Rwanda.
We've been working with others to make big changes in Kenya
It's the fourth year of our Yorkshire Tree campaign - which involves us planting a million new trees in the UK and Kenya.
It’s our fifth year partnering with grassroots cricket charity Chance to Shine, so this year’s Yorkshire Tea National Cricket Week was extra special. Taking place from June 18-22, thousands of children took part in our celebration of cricket – with hundreds of events and activities hosted by schools and communities across England and Wales.
