Change Lives By Joining The Nation’s Biggest Celebration Of Coffee

16 - 22 October 2023

Whether you roast coffee for wholesale customers, consumers, or both - you can take part in UK Coffee Week and help empower coffee growing communities by raising funds for Project Waterfall.  

All you have to do is register and a member of our team will be in touch to help you plan the week. We’ll send you a fundraising kit with materials to help you promote your involvement to your customers and we’ll be on hand to support in making the most out of the campaign. 


Doing Good is good for business

There’s a reason why hundreds of coffee businesses take part in UK Coffee Week year after year. Staff engagement goes up, sales increase and customers love it.  

88% of coffee businesses surveyed said taking part in UK Coffee Week made a positive impact on their business, from attracting new customers to sparking conversations about ethical and sustainable practice.    

As a UK Coffee Week supporter, you will be featured on our map of participating businesses and will benefit from our national press campaign. We also have a strong regional focus spotlighting your business and encouraging customers to visit you during UK Coffee Week.   


How it works

Registration for 2023 is now open!

 

STEP 1: REGISTER

Sign up online in minutes. Registration costs just £25, which helps to cover our costs and ensures that 100% of what you raise during the week will go directly to Project Waterfall

A week before the campaign you’ll be sent a fundraising kit and a digital pack full of tips and tricks. Our team will be on hand to support and help you make the most out of the week.

Please get in touch with hello@ukcoffeeweek.com if you would like more information. 


STEP 2: PLAN YOUR WEEK

Once you sign up, a member of our team will be in touch to help you plan your week and get the most out of the campaign.  

You’ll need to decide how you’re going to fundraise and how you’re going to communicate your involvement with your staff and customers.  

You could:  

  • Donate a certain amount per bag of coffee sold 

  • Donate a percentage of subscription sales 

  • Organise an event at your store to raise funds and engage your local community 

  

STEP 3: FUNDRAISE & CELEBRATE

First things first: crack open your fundraising kit and get your staff stuck into decorating your store. You’ll receive bunting, balloons, posters and more. If you’re an online-only business, you’ll receive a digital fundraising kit instead.  

Then get fundraising! Keep your customers up to date with what you’re doing by sharing on social media. Join the buzz by using the hashtag #UKCoffeeWeek and see what the rest of the community is getting up to.     

   

STEP 4: CHANGE LIVES

Pay in the money you’ve raised and help change the lives of the communities who make your business possible.  

You can make your donation online or via BACS.

100% of funds you raise will support Project Waterfall’s providing clean water to coffee-growing communities.
