200 high teas were a welcome early Christmas present for Clinically Extremely Vulnerable residents in Atherstone courtesy of an idea by the Mayor of Atherstone Cllr Denise Clews.

The project was funded by North Warwickshire Borough Council and Atherstone Town Council.

Cllr Clews has extended her thanks to everyone at Churches Coffee Shop who provided the high teas at cost and a team of volunteer drivers and co-ordinators who delivered freshly prepared scones, sandwiches, sausage rolls, crisps and chocolate along with a Christmas card from the mayor.

The tea recipients had all been nominated by those who volunteered helping local residents who were shielding for many weeks during the first lockdown.

Cllr Clews was overwhelmed by the impact the tea delivery had and she said there were "some lovely smiley faces and even a few tears of joy knowing that people in the community cared so much"

One 93 year old resident who received a tea wrote a letter of thanks saying: "To know that someone out there is willing to do this restores my faith in the goodness of human nature. I wish everyone involved in this very thoughtful enterprise and their families a very good Christmas"
