Northern Ireland Charity Joins Forces with Thompson’s Tea to Create the Perfect Blend.
12th Sep 2025
As Charis Cancer Care celebrates 15 years of supporting individuals and families affected by cancer, the charity is proud to announce a heartwarming new partnership with one of Northern Ireland’s most beloved brands – Thompson’s Tea.
Last year alone, Charis Cancer Care welcomed over 1,000 clients, offering not only vital services but also the simple comfort of a cuppa – pouring an incredible 20,000 cups of tea in the process.
This year, thanks to the generosity of Thompson’s Tea, those cups will be filled with award-winning blends from a company that shares Charis Cancer Care’s commitment to care, quality, and community.
Nestled on the banks of Lough Fea, Charis Cancer Care is a beacon of hope for many across Northern Ireland, offering emotional, psychological, and physical support to people impacted by cancer. Through counselling, complementary therapies, nutritional advice, financial guidance and a compassionate ear, the charity ensures no one faces cancer alone.
Thompson’s Tea, a fourth-generation family business established in 1896, is a staple in Northern Irish homes. With over 1 million cups of their best-selling Punjana tea enjoyed across the region every day, this collaboration is indeed a perfect blend of values and vision.
Speaking about the partnership, Jamie Thompson, Marketing Manager at Thompson’s Tea, shared:
“We are incredibly proud to partner with Charis Cancer Care. The work they do resonates deeply with us, and we’re honoured that our tea will play a small part in bringing comfort to those going through difficult times.”
At Charis Cancer Care, a cup of tea is far more than just a drink. It represents warmth, connection, and a moment of calm – something Fiona Brown, Director of Operations at Charis Cancer Care, knows all too well: “There’s something truly special about sharing a cuppa. It’s a small act that can bring warmth and reassurance to someone facing tough times. To have the support of Thompson’s Tea enables us to offer our clients the best cuppa, care and comfort – helping to create moments of calm in the midst of chaos.”
The partnership also marks the launch of Charis Cancer Care’s new “Comfort in a Cup” fundraising campaign, encouraging supporters across Northern Ireland to host a coffee morning or afternoon tea in aid of the charity’s work.
