In the meantime, we wanted to contact you using our new digital engagement platform – leaf. Over the coming weeks we will share news and information through leaf that we feel may be of benefit during this difficult time. We have lots of plans for the future and want to hear from you about the problems you have experienced, the challenges you have faced, advice that you have for others and share positive stories of the resilience of this community. We want to work with you to share knowledge and information that will benefit everyone – so do get in touch.
As part of this we’d like you to support
#BaristaCare, the new initiative from Tim Ridley, founder of United Baristas. It aims to support baristas and industry professionals who are currently facing hardship after being furloughed. #BaristaCare aims to create and distribute more than 500 care packs to those individuals – and it needs your help. From donating goods and services to bidding on auction lots, there is still lots that can be done to help each other. “We want baristas and coffee professionals to know that the coffee industry cares for them,” explains Tim.
