A crowdfunding campaign to save a South Bristol coffee shop from closure has raised more than £2,000 in less than a day. Hennessey’s Coffee Shop on North Street in Bedminster could permanently close its doors due to the current economic climate.
On Thursday, September 29, the Just Giving page was launched to rescue the establishment which is said to have been significantly impacted by rising energy costs. An extract from the crowd funder reads: “Hennesseys coffee shop has been running for 15 years and is a core part of the BS3 community.
“It’s a friendly haven for the diverse residents in Southville and Bedminster, from pensioners to the school children who visit each day to buy a hot chocolate and raid the tin of sweets he keeps for them behind the counter.”
