This month, St David's Hospice Care were grateful to welcome Simon and Steph to the Hospice in recognition of the incredible fundraising of 'Rob's Roast'. The Coffee Company was set up in loving memory of Robin Smallwood who passed away last year aged 76 following a short battle with a rare, aggressive cancer. Speaking about the care their father received, Steph said: “Dad spent the last week of his life at St David’s Hospice, and the care, compassion and dignity they showed him, and all of us, meant everything. A percentage of the coffee business’ profits are being donated to charities close to the family’s heart and the Hospice are very grateful to be supported, and were presented with a fantastic donation of £2,000 to St David's Hospice Care |
