Under this partnership, Lunch Box coffee is served at all 32 Macdonald Hotels & Resorts properties in the UK. Guests can support this charitable initiative by enjoying breakfast, afternoon tea, or a light refreshment at any hotel. Each bag of coffee funds a meal for a child in Kenya through The Muchomba Project and other coffee-growing regions globally.
The Muchomba Project, a collaboration between a Kenyan coffee farm and Ipswich-based Paddy & Scott’s, supports life-changing initiatives in the Kenyan farming community. Currently, the project is funding improvements at the local school, such as installing windows, toilets, and providing clean drinking water.
Michael Savage, Head of Energy & Sustainability at Macdonald Hotels & Resorts, said:
“Paddy & Scott’s work to support communities aligns seamlessly with our values, and we’re
proud to now stock Lunch Box coffee in all our properties throughout the UK. By doing this,
we can make a real difference and change young people’s lives in the locations where our
coffee is sourced. “We’re looking forward to growing this partnership further over the coming months, and continuing to support those most in need, in developing countries.”
Joseph Cordy, head of commercial at Paddy & Scott’s, said:
“We are thrilled to partner with Macdonald Hotels & Resorts. When two companies come
together with the same values and drive to do more to improve the planet and support
communities in coffee-growing regions, incredible things happen. This partnership present san exhilarating opportunity to feature one of our distinguished coffee blends, Lunch Box,
enhancing the luxury experience for customers across more than 32 sites.
“Lunch Box coffee is more than just a bag of coffee; with each purchase, a school meal is
provided for a child in need, allowing them to focus on their studies without the worry of
where their next meal will come from. We use a blend of our finest beans to produce a
premium-quality espresso, creating a beautiful crema and delicious taste for all to enjoy.”
