🌱 Supporting Local Communities with Bubble Tea: Boba Formosa’s Sponsorship Journey
Making a Difference Through Bubble Tea
At Boba Formosa, we believe business should go beyond supplying premium bubble tea ingredients – it should also make a positive impact in the community. This summer, we proudly supported the Humberside Police Lifestyle Project, a programme designed to encourage children to make improvements to their local communities while developing valuable life skills.
As part of the initiative, a team of students from Eastrington Primary School set up a bubble tea stall to raise funds for Cancer Research UK and community planting projects. With our sponsorship, the children were able to serve fun and refreshing bubble tea drinks to local residents, combining creativity with social responsibility.
About the Humberside Police Lifestyle Project
The Lifestyle Project is a long-standinscheme run by Humberside Police to inspire children and young people to get involved in their communities. Teams of children aged 10–16 take on summer challenges ranging from litter-picking and creating village planters, to organising fundraising stalls.
This year’s project took place across August 2025. The Eastrington team set themselves the goal of selling 200 cups of bubble tea across the event days – an ambitious but achievable target with the right support.
Boba Formosa’s Role as a Sponsor
As the Product Sponsor, Boba Formosa supplied the premium bubble tea ingredients – from fruity syrups to popping balls – that made the children’s drinks both delicious and eye-catching. The team was able to create an engaging stall that attracted families, sports fans, and visitors throughout the day.
The children not only sold drinks, but also learned about teamwork, customer service, and how businesses can give back to society. For us, supporting this project was about more than sponsorship – it was about inspiring the next generation to dream big while contributing to something meaningful.
Why Bubble Tea is Perfect for Fundraising
Bubble tea turned out to be the ideal choice for this community project:
-
Trendy & Fun – As one of today’s most popular drinks, bubble tea instantly attracts attention and creates excitement at community events.
-
Customisable & Profitable – With endless flavour and topping combinations, bubble tea is both engaging for customers and cost-efficient for fundraising.
-
A Refreshing Alternative – Lighter and more playful than traditional sodas, it appeals to all ages and encourages people to stop by and join in.
With Boba Formosa’s premium ingredients, the Eastrington students transformed a simple drinks stand into a fun and memorable community hub.

Community Impact & Lasting Value
Thanks to everyone’s support, the team raised money not only for Cancer Research UK, but also for community planter projects in their village. Residents enjoyed delicious drinks while knowing their contribution would directly benefit local improvements.
The Lifestyle Project demonstrates how small initiatives can create ripple effects across a community – cleaner streets, greener spaces, and stronger neighbourhood bonds. Boba Formosa is proud to have been part of this journey.
