Know the history and understand the company. …
Lyall Coffee started in 2020 when the owner was facing hardship. It was then that the discovery of the emotional connection to a cuppa really began. As keen coffee drinkers and working as a barista for ten years Lindsay has traveled the world discovering different blends of coffees and the real importance of care to the craft.
When Lindsay’s father was terminally ill, a cup of coffee meant for a few minutes there was the opportunity for the world to stop. There was a time to breathe, a meaningful time that everything in their world everything was ‘okay‘. It was then that the realisation on what a cup of coffee can mean to someone and their mental wellbeing.
During 2023 friends have been lost due to suicide and witnessed first hand how mental health can impact on so many lives and at no predicted point.
Seeing the depths mental health can take you and the need for professional support, LYALL COFFEE decided that they would launch with a strong partnership to the Dorset Mind charity.
Donating a proportion of the company’s taking to support those in the local area that are struggling to see light in their darkness.
Dorset mind create a community where living with and talking about mental health becomes acceptable for everyone . Minimising stigma and inequality Dorset Mind offers a range of support and promotes recovery to improve and maintain wellbeing.
“Are you okay? Shall I put the kettle on?” What a powerful statement so many of us use as a gesture of support. With that said its brings us to LYALL COFFEEs mantra which is “every drop, every sip provides time and makes a difference to someone’s mental health” .
