What We Do For Our Community
We feel it’s important to be part of the local community and to give back when we can… so here are some of the things we do within our community.
In the coffee shop and roastery we try to reduce our waste and recycle as much as we can. For our local roastery customers we use reusable tubs to deliver their coffee. Our retail bags are also recyclable.
When purchasing coffee, it is so important to us that farmers are being paid fair prices, which allows them be able to continue to grow their business, provide more jobs and help their communities. The green suppliers we work ensure that this happens.
The Ginger Monkey team are taking part in the Eco Community’s pledge to reduce single use coffee cups.
We get our milk delivered in glass bottles from the dairy, who collect them and clean then reuse for our next order.
We also pledge to buy no more single use plastic drinks bottles.

Litter Picking - Keep Clean Initiative
Here at Ginger Monkey we are incredibly proud to call this village home, but as we go about our daily roasting and brewing, we’ve noticed that some of our favourite local green spaces—specifically around Christleton Road Car Park and Sandy Lane Park—have been struggling with an increase in litter lately. We believe that as a local business, it is our responsibility to lead the way in preserving the beauty of our surroundings, but we can’t do it alone. We’re inviting our neighbours, friends and fellow coffee lovers to join us in a collective effort to tackle this issue and keep our community’s streets and parks pristine for everyone to enjoy.
The “Litter for Latte” Reward
The Kit: Stop by the café to borrow a professional litter picker and a collection bag.
The Treat: Return your equipment with a full bag of rubbish and we’ll reward your hard work with a complimentary cake or hot drink.
Reuse Coffee Grounds - Less Waste
As another way to try and reduce our waste we giving away our used coffee grounds to anyone who would like them!

- You can mix in to compost.
- They repel any pests.
- Make your own coffee logs for your wood burners/fires.
