As you may know, when a Beatons Tearooms first opens we partner with a chosen charity, local to the area, to work with and support for the year. Each charity chosen is one that resonates greatly with the Beatons FBO (franchise business owner) and who’s ethos aligns perfectly with our own.
How we help
You may have noticed on our menu that we have ‘community’ drinks, well, these are in fact our charity drinks. When you purchase our ‘Community Chai Latte’, the extra 25p it costs gets donated to the tearooms’ chosen charity. We at Beatons then match this amount and at the end of the year donate all of the money. This also applies when you purchase our ‘Community Charlton Soda’; for the extra 25p it costs, we match it and the 50p gets donated to the charity. As well as this, we also host a number of events with or in aid of each charity throughout the year. These vary from donating cakes to events hosted and/or organised by the charity, to book launches and events where a percentage of the money generated by ticket sales gets donated.
We are very pleased to be working with the charities that we do and look forward to continuing our work with them! As a reminder, here are the charities that each tearoom is working with at the moment...
