Your coffee gives them a future

Coffee-loving churches have helped one long-standing CRE exhibitor raise £100,000 for charity over the past 10 years.

‘We are delighted that, through sales of our products, we have been able to support Toybox, an amazing charity that works with street children in Guatemala City,’ said Kingdom Coffee’s Darren Rayner (pictured).

In just 12 months, Toybox has helped:

  • 100 street children and young people a month, providing night-time support and distributing food, drinks and basic medical care
  • More than 100 street children, actively involving them in life-skills workshops, recreational activities and child rights workshops, where they also received food and drink
  • 63 street children access therapeutic and psycho-social support
  • 38 street children access health care
  • Supported 95 young people in street situations to gain work skill
  • Supported the education of 343 street children and young people

‘The good work doesn’t stop here though,’ said Darren. ‘We are continuing to support Toybox and look forward to doing so for the foreseeable future.’

Visitors to CRE Midlands 23 will find a Fairtrade Coffee ‘that tastes as great as the work it enables.’
