👀 A certain mega coffee chain: billions in annual revenue.
Glowsticks: found 42p under the till.

Your move, Middlesbrough ☕️💀

But seriously - please, please support us this week - we need you! ❤️

Every coffee, cake or lunch you buy genuinely helps us keep doing what we do, supporting autistic and ADHD young people right here in our community. Small purchases make a HUGE difference to a small charity like ours. 🧡

Ps/ our gang is cooler anyway - we have great coffee and considerably fewer shareholders

📍 Find us upstairs in the Dundas Shopping Centre, Middlesbrough - come hungry, come thirsty, bring ya mates. 💚

💙 IN MEMORY OF PC MATTHEW BLADES & PC TOM CLOUGH 💙

Following the devastating loss of PC Matthew Blades and PC Tom Clough of Cleveland Police, we wanted to do something small to show our love and support to the emergency services community.

From all of us at The Glowsticks Project, any member of the emergency services is welcome to a hot or cold drink on us. 💚

Simply show your emergency services ID badge when you visit us.

There is no catch and nothing to buy. It's simply a brew, a drink, and a little bit of kindness from our team to yours.

We know that behind every uniform is a person, a family, a team and colleagues who feel losses like these enormously.

This is our small way of standing alongside our local emergency services and remembering two officers who went to work to protect their community and tragically didn't make it home.

PC Matthew Blades 💙
PC Tom Clough 💙

Our thoughts remain with their families, friends, colleagues and everyone at Cleveland Police.

With love from all of us at The Glowsticks Project 💚💙

Please show a valid emergency services ID badge when ordering.

Cleveland Police already regularly support our little charity café and bakery - popping in, making purchases and always being incredibly kind and supportive of what we do. 💙 They are part of our Glowsticks community, and we are so grateful for the support they have continually shown our team.

At a time of unimaginable sadness for the force, this is simply our small way of giving a little of that kindness back. 💚💙
