A campaign to save a veteran coffee shop in South Bristol has surpassed its fundraising target in less than two days. Hennesseys coffee shop on North Street, has been a part of the Bedminster community for the past 15 years.
It faces permanent closure by the end of October unless enough costs can be raised in time to keep it running. A JustGiving page was launched by Joey Withers on Thursday (September 29) to raise extra funds with a target of £3,500.
The fundraiser has since smashed its target in less than 48 hours and has reached £4,655 through just over 200 supporters. It had already reached 80 per cent of its target after less than a day of the campaign being live.
