Fueling good causes
At Coco, we are proud and long-term supporters of the LGBTQ+ community.
As a company and brand, we strongly believe that nobody should face prejudice, discrimination and systematic disadvantages by virtue of how they identify or their choice of partner.
This is why we are proud champions of diversity & inclusion every day and month of the year, and we will continue to stand as allies with our queer communities of the world and the organisations providing them valuable support.
Happy Pride!
This Pride season, we’re doing more than waving a flag. We’re proud to be partnering with MindOut, an incredible charity supporting the mental health of LGBTQ people. Their work is vital, year-round, and we’re honoured to play a small part in it.
From June through August, we’ll be donating:
– 10p from every matcha sold (hot or iced)
– £5 from every ‘Eat With Pride’ bundle sold through Coco Caters
Good matcha. Good carbs. Even better cause.
MindOut for each other
MindOut is a mental health service run by and for lesbians, gay, bisexual, trans and queer people with experience of mental health issues. They work to improve the mental health and wellbeing of LGBTQ communities and to make mental health a community concern. Their services and priorities are:
- Listening and responding to the LGBTQ experience of mental health.
- Offering hope through positive relationships and professional counselling.
- Preventing isolation, crisis and suicidal distress in LGBTQ communities via peer support groups and online chat systems.
-
Helping people protect their rights and get their voices heard via their advocacy services.
Not A Phase
In the past two years, with your amazing support, we raised nearly £10k for the amazing charity Not A Phase, whose mission is to uplift Trans+ individuals across the UK.
Not A Phase is a non-profit organisation, and their tireless work ranges from running corporate training on awareness, inclusivity and HR practice/procedure in relation to the recruitment of trans people; to hosting workshops and training sessions for the community which help equip trans and gender non-conforming people with key skills for getting work. They also provide self-defense and therapy sessions for those in need; as well as investing funds raised into trans-owned businesses and community-related ventures across the UK.
