Hospitality businesses of all shapes and sizes fundraise by donating from every cup or bag of coffee sold, or by running events and activities in store.

A host of activities will be taking place across the country, including Latte Art Throwdowns, raffle competitions with great prizes, espresso martini parties, and more. Coffee enthusiasts can find out where the closest coffee shop is that will be taking part by visiting the UK Coffee Week map and What’s On page.

The UK Coffee Week bus will also be back for an interactive pop-up at Boxpark Shoreditch on the 13th and 14th of October. The bus will be serving up free plant powered coffee from Alpro and Caravan Coffee Roasters.

Since 2011, the UK Coffee Week community has raised over £800,000 for Project Waterfall, reaching over 45,000 people with clean drinking water, sanitation and education.

The funds raised during UK Coffee Week 2022 will go to Project Waterfall’s new initiative in the Berbere district of Ethiopia. 40,000 people will have access to clean water and sanitation when this three-year project is completed.

“UK Coffee Week is about celebrating the coffee industry as well as supporting coffee-growing communities. The campaign is an opportunity for us to all come together and make a real impact on the communities that grow our coffee by providing them with a sustainable source of clean drinking water and sanitation,” said Rebecca Hodgson, director of Project Waterfall and UK Coffee Week. “As Project Waterfall’s flagship fundraising campaign, UK Coffee Week gives every coffee shop the power to make a difference no matter their size, while engaging their team and having fun!”

More than 770 million people around the world do not have access to clean water. The majority live in isolated, rural areas – the same areas growing our coffee. Project Waterfall was established by Jeffrey Young in 2011 to unite the coffee industry and coffee consumers to give back to the communities growing our coffee, by investing in sustainable clean water, sanitation and hygiene projects.

Headline sponsor Alpro, and category sponsors Fulfil and Green Rock Manufacturing, are excited to support the campaign. Graham Kelly, head of coffee at Alpro, said, “As a long-standing supporter of UK Coffee Week, we are excited to be taking this a step further by becoming headline sponsor in 2022. Project Waterfall is an excellent initiative, and we are proud that we are playing a bigger role this year in driving even more donations.”

The team at Stone Street Coffee is thrilled to be able to partner up with a cause that is so close to their hearts. Water is such a key ingredient in coffee, from the farmers who drink it, to its use in agriculture, washing the beans in some coffee processes and of course it being the main ingredient in most coffee-drinkers’ morning ritual.

Cara Brobst, brand partnerships manager at charity: water, said, “At charity: water, we believe that when a community gains access to clean, safe drinking water, it changes everything. That’s why we’re really excited to partner with Stone Street Coffee to help bring clean water to people around the world!”

Stone Street is committing to give out 5% of all its online store sales over $50 to charity: water in an effort to fund water projects in developing countries, where most coffee is grown. They are working with Givz, which helps merchants create charity-focused donations via their websites. Andrew Forman, founder and CEO of Givz said: “We are proud to be partnering with an innovative brand in Stone Street Coffee that is simultaneously letting consumers know what they stand for while ultimately supporting what their customers care about most.”

100% of public donations collected by charity: water fund clean water initiatives and they prove every built project. They work alongside strong local partners to build and maintain projects. Every time a water project is complete, GPS coordinates, photos, and a brief description of the project on Google Maps is posted. It’s just one of the ways they’re changing charity—holding themselves accountable to the highest level of transparency.

Benjamin Elmalek, chief digital officer at Stone Street Coffee, said: “This is a big step for us as a company as it’s the first time we venture into this kind of partnership, and I’m personally super excited about this journey. It’s also a cause I care deeply about as it is rooted in my beliefs of water being accessible to all with no limitations. It’s a basic human right. We will be giving 5% of our website sales over $50 back to charity: water to fund multiple wells across the globe in developing countries starting today. Water and coffee make so much sense in terms of how they correlate with one another from the ground level of the farmers to the end users who brew it, which is why we decided to work with charity: water. We want to bring this sense of consciousness to our end consumer and raise awareness.”

The National Pediatric Cancer Foundation (NPCF) taps into the passion and creativity of the coffee industry for Brewing Funds the Cure – a lighthearted initiative designed to raise serious awareness and critical funds for pediatric cancer research. Kicking off this month (October), craft brewers from states around the nation will once again handcraft a signature philanthropic beer, Rising Hope, with 100% of proceeds benefiting NPCF.

New for the 2020 campaign, a signature Hope Roast coffee blend by Kahwa Coffee Roasters will also be available for caffeine-lovers, with 43% of net proceeds donated to NPCF – serving as a reminder that 43 children in the US are still diagnosed with cancer each day.

In 2019, the Rising Hope brew initiative had partners in 23 states and raised over $125,000. In 2020, the NPCF has partnered with breweries in more than 30 states nationwide and hopes to increase funds raised for life-saving research and treatments with the coffee community now on board. NPCF’s new collaboration with Kahwa Coffee Roasters – one of the largest independent coffee roasters in Florida – just released Hope Roast in September, expanding the Brewing Funds the Cure partnership programme to include coffeehouses, shops and online ordering.

Another opportunity for the coffee industry to get involved includes the Tap Handle Program, which allows coffeehouses to donate a percentage of sales per pour from the blend of their choice to NPCF for a week, month, etc. Additional ways to partner include adopting the NPCF’s sticker programme or by creating custom collateral to support the cause. Businesses in the coffee industry are invited to help support the NPCF find less toxic and more targeted treatments for kids – and ultimately one step closer to finding a cure. To learn more about collaborative partnerships with NPCF, visit: NationalPCF.org.

As additional partners join the philanthropic programme, all Brewing Funds the Cure partners will continually be updated on the virtual map at: brewingfundsthecure.org.

The British cyclists, who all secured gold medals at the Olympic Games in Brazil four years ago, have named the new product ‘Break the Chain’ in memory of Doull’s late friend who committed suicide in tragic circumstances in June. In a sign of 5 Rings’ purpose-driven ethos, 50% of the sales proceeds of Break the Chain – which joins fellow single origin coffee roasts Blind Faith and Cali Crash in coming to market – will be donated to mental health charity, Andy’s Man Club.

The new roast is so-named as a result of the founders’ efforts to break the chain of men’s battles with mental health, and to do so through a positive initiative that raises awareness of challenges such as depression and anxiety and encourages others in society to “do their bit” in helping others manage their wellbeing. Men’s mental health is a cause close to the founders’ hearts, too, as Skinner himself suffered from depression and anxiety following his Rio 2016 triumph, with Hindes and Doull playing an integral part on his road to recovery.

5 Rings founders Owain Doull, Callum Skinner and Philip Hindes said:“As a sport, competitive cycling attracts those that like to suffer, but it’s a suffering that’s consensual, encouraged and applauded. Break The Chain is about a different kind of suffering altogether, however, and one that has impacted the three of us, and large numbers of people across society, directly. 

“Callum was directly impacted, as he suffered from depression and anxiety following the Rio Games, and we (Phil and Owain) played an active part in his recovery, watching him grow, recover and thrive. Unfortunately, with one of Owain’s closest friends this summer, there was no such recovery; and so, this has motivated us to play our part in breaking the chain of men’s mental ill health. We want everyone to know that by purchasing our new coffee roast, and sharing it with others, you can play your part, too. Coffee is a social activity and one small act of kindness can make a world of difference.

“Callum first became aware of Andy’s Man Club during a BBC Radio Five Live radio show. He immediately admired the simple concept that the charity embodies, getting men to chat wither they are struggling from mental ill health or not. For too long there has been a stigma about men talking about how they feel, Andy’s Man Club provides a safe and non-judgmental place for men to talk.”

Hospitals and care systems can be nearly impossible to navigate, resulting in many homeless individuals falling through the cracks—even before Covid-19 created a new healthcare crisis. The volunteer medical teams of non-profit Portland Street Medicine is reportedly solving this problem by regularly visiting and helping the community with food, emergency medical care, and essential supplies like toiletries, tampons, and even TriMet tickets. If clients need it, the charity will also connect them with emergency care and same-day services.

Local coffee businesses Catalyst Trade and Extracto Coffee Roasters have teamed up to raise money to benefit Portland Street Medicine. “We wanted to really contribute to a team that’s providing help on the ground level,” said Catalyst Trade CEO, Emily McIntyre.

Extracto and Catalyst Trade have been partners for years, and Extracto owner Chris Brady has traveled with the Catalyst team to Ethiopia several times. A majority Ethiopian-owned business, Catalyst Trade is an importing company intensely involved with the communities where its coffee is grown, as well as where it is consumed.

Extracto Coffee is an anchor of NE Portland, with owners Chris and Celeste Brady providing a cafe and wholesale experience that, even during Covid-19, is its own ‘unique community pocket’.

The two companies have started donating (as of 17 July) 100% of the proceeds from sales of their Ethiopian Washed Dimtu Guji coffee, which will be available through Extracto’s website (for free delivery throughout most of Portland’s Metro area). The companies estimate they may be able to raise around $11,000 for Portland Street Medicine.

“It was important to us that we donate a coffee that’s high quality and community-based,” said McIntyre. “We want to give our best to help Portland Street Medicine with its mission, and we hope that our fellow Portlanders and coffee professionals will support us to make it count.”

The coffee will cost $20 for a 12oz bag and can be ordered via: extractocoffee.com/shop/ethiopiagujidimtu.

Send a Cow says, in the spirit of Ubuntu, an African word that means ‘I am, because you are’: we are all connected, and loneliness can be overcome.

Send a Cow is encouraging people to hold their own African Coffee Break, and the charity even has a free playlist, coffee quiz and tasting notes available to add to the occasion.

Claire, a coffee grower in Rwanda, joined a Send a Cow project. She said: “I chose to grow coffee because it is one of the good cash crops in this region. I get money from coffee and no longer struggle to pay for my health insurance… working with Send a Cow has made us popular and it’s very good when people pass by and see our produce, then they [want] to know how we do this, and ask for help and advice.”

The sustainable development charity are making sure that, despite the coronavirus outbreak, small-scale farmers get the support they need to end hunger and poverty – people participating in the African Coffee Break are encouraged to make a contribution towards the charity, to help Rwandan coffee farmers like Claire. £100 of donations can go towards helping 10 families with seeds, tools and training.

Rebecca Parford, head of Public Fundraising at Send a Cow, said: “When we launched the African Coffee Break we saw some brilliant events, and there’s nothing to stop people recreating the same vibrant events online, from the comfort of their own home. We’ve put together some tips to give people a great way to connect, wherever they’re based.”

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, instead of face-to-face events, the charity behind Loneliness Awareness Week (Marmalade Trust) is also hosting a virtual campaign called ‘One Less Lonely Voice’ with the aim of empowering everyone to understand loneliness one conversation at a time, so people can help themselves and others to manage feelings of loneliness.

The £3 ‘Hug-in-a-mug’ care package has a Tea Rex fresh infusion and a giant Wholey Moly healthy cookie, with UK P&P included. The aim of the parcel is to send a positive message to someone who needs pick-me-up in these tough times, where sometimes physical hugs are not possible.

£1+ per pack of profit goes to the Trussell Trust, a food bank charity focused on ending hunger, which is more vital than ever in these times.

Andrew Walker, founder of Tea Rex Infusions, said, “Whilst we can’t come in contact we can keep in contact, and a warming cuppa and a cookie is one of the most comforting gifts you can give.”

Founder of Wholey Moly Cookies, Meenesh Misty, added, “It costs the same as a takeaway coffee or a bus fare to let someone know you are thinking of them in isolation, they are doing an amazing job on the front line or just that you miss seeing them in person.”

Melitta is the company founded by the inventor of pour-over coffee, Melitta Bentz. The company’s donation is a fitting gesture as baristas around the world serve coffee based on her invention every day, but due to shelter-in-place orders and other measures meant to counter the spread of Covid-19, many have been unable to do so.

“We’re incredibly grateful for Go Fund Bean and other organisations that are stepping in to provide assistance to an integral part of the coffee community that is experiencing significant impact from Covid-19,” said Chris Hillman, vice president of marketing, Melitta USA.

“It’s great to see the industry banding together to help those in need, and Melitta is proud to be a part of that effort.”

With the slogan, “coffee people helping coffee people,” Go Fund Bean was started as a crowdfunding platform and evolved into a virtual tip jar which allows people to add their favourite coffee shop to the online list and donate money to that specific location or any others already on the site. Since its formation, Go Fund Bean has quickly grown to include over 250 coffee shops, primarily located in the US.

“With many coffee shop workers facing immediate and significant financial troubles as a result of the pandemic, something had to be done and done fast,” said Adam JacksonBey, founder of Go Fund Bean.

“Go Fund Bean is a great way for people, and businesses such as Melitta, to help those less fortunate during this unprecedented time when they need it most.”

Doctors, nurses, hospital workers, paramedics, police and firefighters need only show valid identification (such as their uniform, name badge, security or business card) in a Biggby coffeehouse to obtain their complimentary cup of coffee.

The offer will be valid in participating Biggby coffeehouses across the US until Sunday 19 April.

The Sam Bernstein Law Firm is supporting Biggby Coffee and its local owner-operators through a statewide campaign, including the production and airing of TV and radio messages.

“By helping injured clients, we know the enormous positive impact that healthcare professionals and first responders have always had on the people of Michigan. Now, their roles are more important than ever,” said Mark Bernstein, president of the Sam Bernstein Law Firm.

“This partnership with Biggby Coffee allows us to do something to make their days just a little bit better, as a way to show appreciation for what they’re doing every day.

“We couldn’t be more excited to team up with Mark and the entire Bernstein Law Firm family to bring a little love to those who deserve it most right now – the people putting their lives on the line to keep our communities safe,” said Bob Fish, co-CEO of Biggby Coffee.

“We hope this brings some sense of routine and normalcy back to their lives during this extremely trying time.

“Our owner-operators feel a connection to the public servants in their cities and neighborhoods working around the clock to fight this pandemic,” said Mike McFall, co-CEO of Biggby Coffee.

“They were eager to do their part to show love and appreciation to this group giving so much.”

The Camerino Hospital is the first of its kind in the province of Macerata, which is also where the Simonelli Group headquarters are situated.

“In this challenging health situation, every one of us needs to do their part”, commented Nando Ottavi, president of Simonelli Group. “The Company shares the need to be even closer to the community. We need to do what is possible to sustain the great efforts the public health services are doing along with the many individuals that work every single day with dedication and sacrifice, saving thousands of lives.”

The Simonelli Group has a strong connection to Camerino, the city in which the Group began its research projects that evolved into innovative technologies for coffee extraction.

Fabio Ceccarani, CEO of Simonelli Group, said: “In collaboration with the University of Camerino, we created value to allow coffee shop chains and baristas worldwide to make high-quality drinks. At this moment duty calls us to offer value to our community to strengthen and support the Hospital of Camerino, and to do so, ensure they have the necessary equipment to cope with the emergency and save lives.”

In response to the current extreme health emergency, the Simonelli Group has adopted strict precaution procedures and practices for all its employees, which are stipulated in the Group’s “Covid19 insurance” policy, offering concrete support to each employee in the case of contagion.

Nestlé also donated to food banks and food delivery organisations to support people in need as well as its business partners throughout its supply chains.

Building on these humanitarian efforts, Nestlé announced that it is joining forces with the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) in response to its emergency appeal.

The IFRC is a strong and trusted global partner of Nestlé, with unmatched presence and expertise in providing first aid, emergency response and epidemic control.

“In addition, we give our full support to those who are fighting tirelessly against the spread of the virus, every day. This is where our trusted and longstanding partnership with the IFRC comes in. We applaud the relentless efforts of the millions of Red Cross and Red Crescent volunteers and admire their determination to make a difference on the ground.”
