Farm Boy Brews Teams up with Support in Mind Scotland
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates James Rhys and his team at Farm Boy Brews (FBB), which is a Dumfries and Galloway-based business that specialises in the production and supply of quality coffee to various food and drink outlets across the south west and beyond; notes that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, it has teamed up with Support in Mind Scotland (SiMS), which has six support centres across Dumfries and Galloway, to raise funds and awareness to support positive health and wellbeing for people accessing the charity's lifeline services, which have seen an increase of demand since the lockdown restrictions came into force; understands that FBB will be supporting SiMS by donating 10% of the profits from its Depresso Espresso coffee sales, which will allow the charity's essential virtual and telephone services to continue; notes that FBB has an online shop at farmboybrews.square.site and encourages people to consider purchasing what it sees as the company's excellent selection of coffees; thanks FBB for its community spirit and innovative ideas during what is a challenging time for many, and wishes it well for the future.
