Teabag challenge started by Haywards Heath business to support Teenage Cancer Trust

This month, Parker Building Supplies in Haywards Heath and Hassocks is asking everyone to get involved in the #TeaBagChallenge to raise awareness and funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

The challenge has already received nationwide support and involvement from YouTubers, former professional footballers and faces from the media as well as staff, customers and suppliers.

All are sharing their fails and successes on social media with the hashtag #TeaBagChallenge and donating to the charity.

Mark Bootle, branch manager at Parkers Building Supplies, Haywards Heath, said: “We’ve had such fun doing the challenge, and we are asking everyone to join in.

“It’s a challenge that everyone can do, irrespective of age, location or physical fitness.

“The challenge is simple – video yourself trying to throw a teabag into a cup from at least a metres distance, share it, nominate and donate to Teenage Cancer Trust via www.justgiving.com/fundraising/chandlersbs-teabagchallenge or www.justgiving.com/fundraising/parkerbs-teabagchallenge.”

Helen Farquharson from the Teenage Cancer Trust said: “We are extremely grateful to Parker Building Supplies and Chandlers Building Supplies for their incredible long-term support.

“Please get involved in the #TeaBagChallenge and let everyone know about the Teenage Cancer Trust.”
