How You Can Help Indie's In This Difficult Time
Updated: Apr 11, 2020
In these times of uncertainty, our local independents need our support now more than ever before.
With the government being as useless as ever and advising people to stay away from coffee shops without actually forcing them to close, the future of a lot of businesses truly hang in the balance.
We'd hate to see businesses that we love close so we've put together a list of our partners and other independent coffee shops across the Midlands to let you know when they are open and ways in which you can support them.
We know it's a scary time but we truly believe if we pull together and show compassion, we can come through the other side.
