Sip your Favourite Beverage this Coffee Week

 

The UK’s Coffee week begins on Monday 18th October this year and is a period where coffee shops, restaurants, roasters, and their customers come together to raise funds for Project Waterfall – a charity working to end the water crisis in coffee-growing communities across the world. By investing in sustainable projects, Project Waterfall brings a source of clean drinking water, sanitation, and education to coffee-growing communities across the world.
