Next week marks the start of UK Coffee Week – a nationwide celebration and fundraiser led by Project Waterfall, which aims to bring clean water and sanitation to coffee-growing communities.

Every year, hundreds of coffee shops, restaurants, and roasters across the UK come together to host exciting events and activities, raising both awareness and vital funds for this important cause.

In today’s episode, we’re getting into the spirit of the celebrations by speaking with three incredible supporters to explore the positive impact the coffee industry can make when working together, and what they’re looking forward to this year.

We'll hear from Rob Colicci, Director, Colicci, Emily Shepherd, Brand Manager, Alpro UK&I and Matthew Van Elkan, Owner, Maude Coffee Roasters alongside Rebecca Hodgson, Director Project Waterfall.

UK Coffee Week runs from 14 to 20 October 2024! Discover the events happening near you: ukcoffeeweek.com
