Fighting loneliness with friendliness and coffee!

There’s something very special about Christmas, we can’t really put our finger on it (... because it will get sticky). When you think about it, it’s not just the frostings and the warm drinks, lighting candles and be surrounded by your loved ones. Christmas is a time for something more, something else.

It’s the time of giving, in different ways. Wrapping presents for your family and friends. But also to look around and meet a stranger’s smile. Say hi and spread love around you. Christmas is about sharing: love, gifts, and happiness.

At Espresso House we love coffee. Not only because it tastes good, but because it has a strong social power that brings people together. We say CupTogether, and with that we commit ourselves to breaking down taboos and to fight loneliness – one cup at the time.

This year, we continue to support the children right's organisation Maskrosbarn that everyday works to reduce loneliness among children growing up in difficult home situations by providing them with support, adults they can trust and a sense of community.

With every cup of filter coffee sold throughout the month of December we will donate 1 kr to support Maskrosbarn. During last year's Christmas campaign we managed to raise 986 501 kr to Maskrosbarn's important work. This year we aim to raise even more money to the organisation!

And if you don’t drink coffee, don’t worry! Social contact is proven to be the best way to fight loneliness. So, just look up and pay attention to the people around you. It makes all the difference in the world.
