A cuppa can lift community spirit.
It can bring hope and it can also bring us together.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

We set ourselves the challenge of building a movement, sharing kindness with Caffe Sospeso.

Caffè Sospeso is the act of buying one coffee, but paying for 2, leaving one hanging (suspended) for someone who needs it - no questions asked.

Simple tags will be hung in coffee shop and cafe windows, offering a heartwarming cuppa.

Look for a Caffè Sospeso on the menu.
If it is there, please buy one if you can afford to. A simple act of kindness that can offer hope to someone in need.

Anyone facing hard times can take one of the tags and receive a cuppa.

Thank you so much to our founding cafes for taking time out to film. And also to Driver Hire Colchester for being the first business to support the movement and leave cuppas hanging.

We've had so much fun making this film and getting to know everyone. We look forward to meeting even more people as the Cafe Sospeso movement grows.

All cafes taking part will be listed in the Your Colchester Directory. Let's get more taking part!
Please tell your favourite cafe or coffee shop about the movement and help get them on board.

Share some kindness and share your photos with your Cafe Sospeso and using

Some final filming today for the Caffe Sospeso story. Make sure to ask your favourite coffee shop or cafe for a Caffee Sospeso and pay forward a cuppa for someone who has fallen in harder times.

And Who loves Hugh’s jumper? 😀🎄

Just start.
Start with clarity and purpose and it will grow.

We love this photo. Such a good reminder that big brands were once a piece of paper pinned to someone’s bedroom wall.

We ❤️ influencer marketing .
So much fun and so exciting when you see your efforts start to come to fruition.
Well done Poppy West!

GIFT | So strange to think that this time last year this kind of look wasn’t a thing 😷 and popping out to have a browse round the shops could be spontaneous! Well, I’ve decided as I have to wear a mask I might as well make them look less surgical. This one from Lulu Sophia London is in beautifully soft cotton which is smooth next to my face and is illustrated by the Founder who creates fabulous stories for her heroines.

Break the patterns in life.

This is the strategic messaging approach we are taking for this beautiful brand.

Each scarf Tells a story.
Each scarf is printed with an original water-colour painting by Lulu Sophia, which is so different than most scarves with repetitive patterns.

Each scarf comes packaged in a cylinder box with a ribbon bodied story scroll, making it an ideal gift. The poems on the scrolls are written to send out a positive message which is so needed today.

Lots of work to do to create the messaging, build the audience and improve the website for improved online ordering experience.

Take a look at the beautiful collection. You might find a little gift or two.

A cuppa can lift community spirit.
As we enter a national lockdown, our community is working together to offer a cuppa, a simple act of kindness, to help someone who may need a lift.

I'm pleased to say that this movement (yes let's make it a movement) has come about as a result of our Colchester Local Business Cooperation Group

Pay it forward and buy a cuppa for someone else that you'll never meet. Caffè Sospeso is the act of buying one coffee, but paying for 2, leaving one hanging (suspended) for someone who needs it - no questions asked.

Simple tags will be hung in the coffee shop window, offering a heartwarming cuppa - coffee and cake or tea and a sandwich. Anyone facing hard times, can take one of the tags and receive a cuppa.

Look for a Caffè Sospeso on the menu.
If it's not there, tell them about it and get the cafe on board. If it is there, buy one.

All cafes taking part will be listed in the Your Colchester Directory. (I'll add the link to the category page when it's live!) https://yourcolchester.com/

Any business that feels that can help can buy some tags. And we are encouraging any member of the public to buy a Caffè Sospeso - a simple act of kindness.

Thanks to Gary Riches from Driver Hire Colchester, Francis MadeandFound Made & Found Colchester and Emma Moore and Colin from Bakeoffee for getting this kindness movement started...
and with Kim Moore working on the comms, and Ben sutton helping to spread the word through the Colchester Community Group (UK) we are pleased as punch to bring an old Italian tradition, Caffè Sospeso, to Colchester.

As a recent graduate it was very intimidating entering into the workforce for the first time, especially when having to manage remote working. I have now been working remotely at KG Moore for 5 months and staying on top of work while working at home has its challenges.

Kim has been helping me to develop my strategic marketing management skills which is not something they teach in a classroom. Managing marketing campaigns for the first time has not been an easy task and over time I have realised the importance of planning (it is something that is spoken about all the time at university but I didn't think it was as important as it has become to me now).

I have written a blog post all about my experience with planning and the importance of taking time to plan ahead, especially when I am having to juggle multiple clients at once.

Take a look at the blog post now: https://www.kgmoore.co.uk/dont-have-time-to-plan-ahead-make-time/
