Drinks firm offers centres Garden Re-Leaf help


Tea and coffee equipment and product supplier Café Works is offering garden centres without cafés the chance to be involved in the charity Greenfingers’ Garden Re-leaf Day.
 
The Shropshire-based provider of single serve coffee options, tea and coffee equipment and vending solutions is able to loan equipment for fundraising pop-up events taking place on March 18.
 
Café Works’ boss, Jacques Farmer, explained: “We’re keen to support Greenfingers and Garden Re-leaf Day and one way we can do this is to offer garden centres without cafés the chance to have some of our equipment on a first come, first served basis to host a coffee morning or a tea party in aid of the charity.
 
“We’re happy for garden centres to have one of our fully automatic Bean to Cup machines and to sell the coffee to raise funds for Greenfingers. The sooner interested parties get in touch the better as of course the loan is subject to equipment and staff availability and we expect this will be a popular idea as it is such a wonderful cause.”
 
Greenfingers is a national charity dedicated to supporting the children and their families who use hospices around the UK by creating inspiring gardens for them to relax in and enjoy.
Jacques, who is licensed to work in tea and coffee services by the Academy of Food and Wine Service, added: “It’s a tremendous charity that creates magical spaces for children to enjoy with their families and friends. They are spaces for fun and play as well as for therapeutic rest and relaxation.”
 
Anyone interested in Café Works’ pop-up coffee morning or tea party offer in aid of Greenfingers on Garden Re-leaf Day, should contact the company soon on 01952 291026.   
 
Jacques concluded: “Café Works is ‘more than just tea and coffee’. We do everything from offering sound advice to selling great equipment and products, and have innovative ideas to help our clients solve the various problems they might have, along with providing other bits and pieces for home, restaurants and coffee shops.
 
“We are also working with an established designer to tailor our equipment and products to suit, for example, farm shops needing coffee to go and restaurants needing something more sophisticated. We also help small businesses needing equipment to help save staff time in-house when making that all important, inspirational and thirst-quenching cuppa for the team!”
 
For further details, please call Café Works, which is based in Priorslee, Telford, on 01952 291026 or visit www.cafe-works.co.uk.
