Hospice Isle of Man selected as MannVend’s #IOMstory coffee blend beneficiary charity

An innovative campaign run by MannVend has selected Hospice Isle of Man as their chosen charity to benefit from the campaign, until the end of 2022!

Last year, the Island’s leading refreshment company created a unique coffee blend and called it #IOMstory to support the Visit Isle of Man campaign which celebrates all that is great about our Island. £1 from every 1kg bag of #IOMstory coffee sold is being donated to Hospice Isle of Man.

Tracey Leahy, Managing Director of MannVend, said:

“Hospice provide an incredible facility for the Isle of Man.  Many of us have experienced their care with our loved ones so we are delighted to be able to support them with our charity coffee.”

The coffee blend was created to be versatile enough for caterers to use in traditional espresso machines, and in the growing number of workplaces that have the latest ‘bean to cup’ machines. MannVend’s experts worked hard to create a perfect roast that would work with both types of equipment, while also being strong enough to use with either fresh or granulated milk. Using sustainably sourced Brazilian and Colombian beans they created a rich, smooth, full roasted blend with tasting notes of chocolate, berries and caramel.

Anne Mills, Chief Executive of Hospice Isle of Man, said:

“We are very grateful to Tracey and MannVend for choosing Hospice as the charity to benefit from their innovative fundraising campaign. To ensure our services are available to our patients and their families at absolutely no cost to them, we need to fundraise over £5 million each and every year, so partnerships such as this one with MannVend are extremely important to us. We look forward to seeing how the campaign develops over the next year and we’ll be sure to enjoy the #IOMstory coffee ourselves!”

The fundraising campaign will continue from now until the end of 2022 when we will be excited to let you know what difference this crucial support has made to Hospice Isle of Man.
