We're still collecting donations
On the 14th April 2020 we'd raised £21,380 with 515 supporters in 28 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
The aim of this project is simple - to keep Bould Brothers from suffering a fatal blow due to the coronavirus and the government's policy.

On the 14th April 2020 we'd raised £21,380 with 515 supporters in 28 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
This will be used to sustain our business and staff through an unprecidented time in our industry.
We opened our wonderful business at the tail end of 2016 and have since touched the lives of many great people through the service of fantastic coffee, in our shops in Cambridge.
We are determined to survive the COVID-19 outbreak, and until now believed that we could go it alone. Not any longer! Our government has released restrictions on the public‘s movement which is due to hit our industry very hard and we envisage only being able to survive for about 4 weeks at the current rate.
We are at a particularly vulnerable time on our journey, having just opened a second location, and having done so with no external investment (thus just savings and bank loans)!
We do, of course, feel responsible for the livelihoods of the incredible team we employ and what to explore every avenue we can to help provide them with a semblance of normality at this time.
We ask that you continue to buy you coffee as usual (but of course will not receive any in practice- we’re sorry). Or if you can afford to and feel like you want to, give more to help us through what is set to be an unprecedented time.
To all of our customers, we are deeply sorry that we won’t get to enjoy our daily chats and laughter with you. Thank you for helping, and we will see you on the other side!
We ask project owners to honour their rewards wherever possible but please note that all pledges are donations and there is no guarantee that you will receive any rewards from the project owner. Please see Crowdfunder's Terms of Use for more information regarding rewards for pledges.
