Leading Midlands law firm, Flint Bishop, stirred up some charitable interest amongst its staff by hosting a Coffee and Cake event that has raised a total of £300 for Derby-based charity Safe and Sound Derby.

The firm, with offices in both Derby and Ashbourne, hosted the event in conjunction with the ethically sourced coffee supplier, Azorieblue Coffee. Azorieblue provided their deluxe Brazilian coffee blends free of charge whilst Flint Bishop's social committee supplied a selection of cakes. In return for a donation of £2, staff received a cup of coffee of their choice and a cake. 

All of the money raised was donated to Safe and Sound Derby, an organisation that reaches out to children and young adults who are at risk of or are currently being sexually exploited through criminal practices. 

Commenting on the success of the event, Aaron Marshall, trainee solicitor and chairman of the Flint Bishop social committee said:

"We were pleased to work alongside Azorieblue Coffee to raise funds for such a vital charity. The committee really enjoyed (providing or making) the cakes and the staff welcomed the delicious coffee that was supplied." 

Adrian Rose from Azorieblue Coffee added: "Azorieblue was thrilled to work with Flint Bishop to raise money for such a worthwhile charity. Our motto is that our coffee is 'smoother than a tiger in a tuxedo!' and the staff at Flint Bishop seemed to agree." 

Phil Smith of Safe and Sound added: "We are grateful to both Flint Bishop and Azorieblue Coffee for hosting this event and generously choosing to raise the money for our organisation."
