A VERY English habit will justify its worth when it takes the Andover area by storm on 17 June.

Hundreds of people will be clinking their cups for a Tea At 3 fundraiser, which aims to pour in the pounds for Naomi House Children's Hospice near Winchester.

Workplaces, schools and homes will be hosting tea parties for the hospice while workers will make donations during cuppa breaks.

Anyone interested in hosting a tea party should visit www.teaat3.co.uk or call 01962 843 513.
