CF Week, 17–23 June 2024
I’m super excited to announce heartwarming collaboration between Stoomio and Tide Minerals to support the Cystic Fibrosis Trust during their annual “Wear Yellow Week.” Get in! This partnership during CF Week not only aims to raise awareness about cystic fibrosis but also to generate much-needed funds to support the invaluable work of the Trust.
About the Cystic Fibrosis Trust
The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is a leading charity in the UK dedicated to fighting for a life unlimited for everyone affected by cystic fibrosis. This genetic condition causes the body to produce thick mucus that can clog the lungs and digestive system, leading to severe respiratory and digestive problems. The Trust supports cutting-edge research, offers vital information and support to those affected, and campaigns to improve the quality of life and future prospects of people with CF.
Wear Yellow Week: A Burst of Sunshine for a Good Cause
Wear Yellow Week is an annual event hosted by the Cystic Fibrosis Trust to raise awareness and funds. Participants are encouraged to wear yellow, the signature colour of the CF Trust, symbolising hope and brightness amidst the challenges faced by those with CF. This week is an opportunity for communities to come together, show support, and contribute to a worthy cause.
Tide Minerals: Shining a Light with Yellow Minerals
Tide Minerals, a local family run business known for its exquisite collection of minerals and gemstones, is joining the cause by showcasing a stunning range of yellow minerals. These unique and beautiful minerals not only highlight the natural beauty of the earth but also serve a greater purpose during Wear Yellow Week. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these yellow minerals will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, directly supporting their mission and work.
Stoomio: Bringing Yellow to Young Readers
I’m delighted to contribute to this charitable effort by curating a special list of children’s books* on bookshop.org, all adorned with vibrant yellow covers.
Reading is a magical experience that can inspire and educate children, and through this initiative, Stoomio hopes to combine the joy of reading with the spirit of giving. A portion of the sale generated from you buying a featured book or books from the Stoomio store (at no extra cost to you at all) during Wear Yellow Week will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Visit the specially curated book list here. Or see the list just underneath and click on a title 👇
When you buy a book through our links, not only do you support the CF Trust at no extra cost to you, but a percentage of the purchase also goes back into supporting indie book publishers and local bookstores. It really is a win-win-win.
The Collaboration: Making a Difference Together
This collaboration between Stoomio and Tide Minerals is a testament to the power of community and collective effort. By coming together, we can make a significant impact on the lives of those affected by cystic fibrosis. Here are some highlights of what to expect:
- A Special Collection of Yellow Minerals: Tide Minerals will showcase a range of yellow minerals, including citrine, Fluorite and amber. These beautiful pieces will be available for purchase, with a portion of the sales going directly to the CF Trust.
- Curated Yellow Book List: Stoomio has put together a list of delightful children’s books with yellow covers, perfect for young readers. Each purchase through Stoomio’s affiliate links will support the CF Trust, making it easy for families to contribute while enjoying quality reading time.
- Educational and Fun Content: Throughout Wear Yellow Week, both Stoomio and Tide Minerals will share engaging content about cystic fibrosis, the importance of the CF Trust’s work, and fun facts about the minerals and books featured.

The whole reason I started Stoomio was because I honestly believe in the magic of books and the power of community. By partnering with Tide Minerals for Wear Yellow Week, we hope to shine a light on cystic fibrosis and support the incredible work of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
