Text-a-Toastie originated at the University of Cumbria in 2008, in response to a university policy that stated students were not allowed inside a hall of residence unless they had a specific invitation from a resident.

During the CU events week, the members were keen to have conversations about faith and give out copies of Mark’s Gospel, so they handed out flyers, inviting students to text them a question in exchange for an answer and, naturally, a toastie.
