Bath ASU have implemented a brilliantly simple fundraising scheme for Dorothy House through every cup of coffee they sell to staff at work.

Their high-end coffee machines are placed in each canteen on site and the machines charge just 20p for any hot drink, and staff can use their card to pay in the knowledge that every penny will go to Dorothy House.  With over 450 staff, and 350 of them based on site at Corsham Science Park, that’s a lot of people buying coffee!

“The coffee machine fundraising scheme couldn’t be easier to run. Once the machines and payment platform are set up, it’s just a case of making one monthly donation. And drinking plenty of great coffee of course. It helps engage our team members directly in supporting Dorothy House, it makes it more active and personal. It is also easy, 20p is great value for a proper cup of coffee and all the cash goes to DH – literally no sweat!

…We think more coffee is purchased because staff know it is going to a good cause. It’s a good deal and is well worth the 20p, even without the donation aspect. But since it is also a charitable act, there’s no reason not to treat yourself and do a little good at least once a day.”

We are so grateful to Bath ASU for their ongoing donations and for choosing us as their charity to support with their coffee machine fundraising. Without our supporters and their donations, we wouldn’t be able to provide the exceptional care we always aim to deliver to those in our community with a life limiting illness.
