Coffee recycling transformed into school coats

» EVERY pupil at Hester’s Way Primary School has had a new coat courtesy of SOHO Coffee co.

The company launched the ‘Cardboard to Coats’ initiative in 2021 with the goal of raising funds to buy coats for every single child at the school.

A total of £4,000 was raised by recycling cardboard and plastic at our Central Hub in Cheltenham.

All stores, central production, and warehouse teams are asked to separate their cardboard packaging from plastic and return to SOHO HQ where it are paid per bale of cardboard & plastic wrap – all of which is put towards the Cardboard to Coats cause.

The project has been driven by SOHO’S Dispatch Manager, Alan Redding. Alan and operations director Pete Manuel visited the school and presented every child with their brand-new coat, embellished with the school’s logo.

The entire team at SOHO is very proud of Alan and his commitment to this project, and an incredible achievement for all involved.
