Corkman John Sweeney can be credited with raising awareness of the ‘suspended coffee’ movement in Ireland.
The movement allows you to pay for a ‘suspended coffee’ and then someone having a hard time can come and avail of a hot drink.
John made this video which shows exactly how much the movement is appreciated, he spoke to cafe owner Richard who was one of the first people to get involved with the movement.
At the beginning, there was a build-up of suspended coffees at Richard’s cafe which meant €1600 was given to a homeless shelter in Cork.
As Richard says in the video, “it’s about more than just coffee.”
