Tough Mudder

If you've heard of Tough Mudder before you know it does exactly what it says on the tin. It's Tough. It's muddy. If you haven't the only thing that's missing from the description is obstacle course, there now we're all caught up.

The cheerful chappies from Costa @ ODEON Dunfermline are putting down their milk jugs and hanging up their barista aprons for a challenging event in order to raise money for the foundation.

We as a team have recently learned a lot more about the foundation and have been partaking in varying events throughout the year in order to raise both funds and awareness for a great cause that is constantly developing and growing and really making a difference in so so many lives. Below are the words from the site because who can put it better than the charity themselves:

About the Costa Foundation

'The Costa Foundation is an independent charity that aims to relieve poverty in coffee-growing communities. Its mission is to improve the life chances of boys and girls by providing them with the opportunity for a quality education. Foundation schools deliver both academic and extracurricular programs that enhance health, gender equality and environmental awareness.

Farmers are an integral part of the Costa family, and their amazing coffee growing skills are the reason we’re able to bring you high quality coffee that’s packed full of flavour. We care about our coffee and we care about farmers, that’s why we set up the Costa Foundation, which aims to relieve poverty, advance education and by doing so, improve health and protect the environment of coffee-growing communities around the world. The Costa Foundation supports these communities without expecting anything in return which means we are often helping farmers in areas where we are not able to buy their coffee.'
