Ground Espresso Bars raise £10,000 for Autism NI

The ‘Espresso your support’ coffee cup initiative ran throughout April and saw 10p donated for every coffee sold throughout the month. All funds raised will help Autism NI continue to provide vital services for autistic people and their families throughout Northern Ireland.

Jessica McCready, Area Manager at Ground Espresso Bars said: “We would like to say a huge thank you to all our customers and staff who got behind the campaign and bought a cup of coffee, donated online or in-store, to help us raise this incredible amount. We’re proud to partner with Autism NI and support their invaluable services across Northern Ireland.

"We have lots more activities planned to raise money in our Ground stores across the country over the next few months, and we hope that you all continue to show your support and get involved in the fun to help us raise even more.”

Therese Wilson, Corporate Fundraising Manager at Autism NI said: “We are so grateful to the team and customers at Ground Espresso Bars for organising and supporting our ‘Espresso your Support’ campaign this April.

"Every penny raised will help us to offer our services to more families across Northern Ireland and help us build an inclusive society for all autistic people. In particular, it will help fund our Helpline, which received over 7,000 calls last year, our Early Intervention services that provides tailored support for autistic people post-diagnosis, and our Family Support services.”
