The story so far...



In 2011 we undertook a long-term commitment to support the excellent Coffee Kids charity.  In our first year as partners & with the support of our lovely customers we were able to donate over £1000 through the sale of our BTP KeepCups & our guest coffee.

A few facts…
Coffee is the largest agricultural commodity in international trade.  Annually this industry is worth £50 billion.   Coffee laborers often earn 4p a pound of coffee picked by hand.   Globally 25 million families are dependent on coffee as their sole source of income with many facing malnutrition, poor sanitation & little access to health care.

About Coffee Kids…
Coffee Kids’ mission is to build a sustainable future for coffee farmers & their families through projects in economic diversity, microcredit, health awareness, education & food security with the support of local community groups.  This work allows coffee farmers to reduce their dependency on the volatile coffee market & confront their communities most pressing needs.

Those hardworking souls at Exeter BTP were given the day off to do something lovely & left the running of their cafe to the BTP Ops Team.  Not sure things were up to the usual standard but they left the building standing & some customers even got what they ordered.  They made the rather wise decision to keep Sam, the MD, away from the tills & the coffee machine & put him on washing up all day - damage limitation!  Also should we worry about what Anita's gloves are for!?  Anyway well done Exeter - hope you had a fab day out.
