Bewley's coffee roaster pledges to donate £20,000 to the Peak District National Park Foundation

As part of its commitment to support the local community, Bewley’s coffee roaster in Meltham, has pledged to raise £20,000 for The Peak District National Park Foundation.

In a new partnership which sees Bewley’s become a Gold member of the foundation, 20p for every pack of its Grumpy Mule Dark Peak coffee sold will be donated to the conservation and accessibility of the park.

Gus Lunt, Commercial Director at Bewley’s explained: “Community has always been very important to us. As a business we have been a big advocate of paying Fairtrade premiums on our coffee purchases to support our coffee growing communities, and in the same way, we wanted to formalise our long-standing support for the local community, where our coffee is roasted.”

“As the UK’s oldest national park, the peak district has always been close to the heart of both our local community and the nation, but the last few challenging years have led to many people rediscovering nature, or indeed, finding it.  So, this partnership really recognises the value of our environment and the role it plays within our communities.”

The new Gold partnership, which includes an initial £5k investment from Bewley’s will see 20p from every bag of Grumpy Mule Dark Peak coffee, which is delicately sourced from El Salvador and Brazil, donated to the foundation. The coffee is available in a range of cafés across Yorkshire, but also nationwide and is available to buy in Ocado, Waitrose and Tesco.
