SCOTTISH celebrities are urging people to have a cuppa to raise vital funds for a charity.
Quarriers 10 Minute Teabreak launched on Monday and the charity is looking for people to throw get-together’s to raise funds.
A whole host of celebrities have shown their support to the event by giving an insight into how they like their cuppas.
Andy Murray’s mum Judy said: "I like tea mid-afternoon. Good old English Breakfast, with milk and a sugar, but strong enough so you can actually taste it. And preferably with cake. Victoria sponge with fresh cream and raspberry jam. Perfect."
Comedian and impressionist Rory Bremner added: “I can’t get through the day without tea. Earl Grey in the morning, Earl Grey & Lapsang (same mug) in the afternoon. Live dangerously!”
Also joining the par-tea and backing the campaign are ITV’s Lorraine Kelly and former Rangers football star Ally McCoist.
Quarriers Chief Executive Alice Harper said “We know everyone is busy these days, but taking just 10 minutes out of your day to share time together over a cup of tea, and preferably some cake, would not only benefit you, but also help raise vital funds for Quarriers.
“Quarriers provides practical care and support for vulnerable children, adults and families who face extremely challenging circumstances. By hosting your own 10 Minute Teabreak and raising funds you really will make a huge difference to the lives of the people who need it most.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
