Garden centres without cafés can join coffee morning
 |
Garden centres without cafés are being given the chance to participate in this year’s Macmillan World’s Biggest Coffee Morning thanks to tea and coffee equipment and product supplier Café Works.
Any retailers looking to host an event for the charity on September 30 can borrow equipment from the Shropshire-based provider of single serve coffee options, tea and coffee equipment and vending solutions.
Café Works’ boss, Jacques Farmer, explained: “We’re more than happy for garden centres to have one of our fully automatic Bean to Cup machines and to sell the coffee to raise funds for this wonderful charity.
“We’re keen to hear from anyone interested as soon as possible, as of course the loan of our equipment is subject to availability and we anticipate this idea will prove to be very popular, as it is such an excellent cause to support.”
The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, which takes place this year on Friday, September 30, is Macmillan’s largest fundraising event for people facing cancer.
The charity asks people from across the UK to host their own coffee mornings and donations on the day are made to Macmillan.
Jacques, who is licensed to work in tea and coffee services by the Academy of Food and Wine Service, added: “Last year alone the organisation raised £25 million and this year they are aiming to raise even more, and we’re delighted to be able to help in whatever way we can.
“We’ve worked a lot in the sector and we understand garden centres do like to get involved in fundraisers like this. We thought if we could provide equipment to be able to assist any garden centre that doesn’t have its own Café, then we’d be doing our bit too.”
Anyone interested in Café Works’ pop-up coffee morning in aid of this year’s Macmillan World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, should contact the company soon on 01952 291026.
Jacques continued: “Café Works is ‘more than just tea and coffee’ – hence why we like to support events like this. 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!”
