Profits from a new Ruby coffee blend created by the Lincoln Tea and Coffee Company and sold through its website will be given to Lincolnshire’s St Barnabas Hospice and its Care for a Cuppa campaign.
Company founder Susie Carlisle is a passionate St Barnabas supporter, having been involved in previous campaigns such as the dragonfly and heart appeals, and is excited to be part of Care for a Cuppa.
She said: “In our business, it is something we already do – we often sit down with a cup and have a chat. We know the power of a cup of tea or coffee and how much talking to a friend or relative can mean. It’s something we want to share, and this campaign was perfect for us.
“The profits of the special St Barnabas coffee blend will go straight to the organisation, helping palliative and end-of-life patients and their families. All the care the Hospice offers is self-funded, and we are very proud that we can help them in this way.”
Caroline Swindin, Fundraising Development Manager at St Barnabas Hospice, said: “We are delighted to have The Lincoln Tea & Coffee Company on board as partners in this campaign. Local businesses’ support really helps us add that extra touch to our events and fundraising campaigns, and we are very grateful to Susie and her whole team for getting involved. We can’t wait for people to try their delicious blend!”
People who sign up to host a ‘Care for a Cuppa’ event will receive a fundraising pack which includes a collection box, bunting, cake flags, recipes from Lincolnshire celebrity chef Rachel Green, and thanks to the new partnership there will also be a sample of The Lincoln Tea & Coffee Company’s house blend coffee bags included.
