Peters new trike fund to cycle safely

Hey! My name is Peter and during the first lockdown I took a leap of faith, quit my job and set up Stol Coffee. I wanted to be closer to my community and bring the coffee shop vibes to peoples doorsteps in a socially distant, safe way. I cycle around on my blue cargo bike providing speciality coffee, home made cookies and meaningful conversations. 


I believe in creating and strengthening relationships to build healthy communities. This will ultimately make this world a better place. Coffee and cookies are just the way to get there. 



TOGETHER IS BETTER!
In between lockdowns I've been organising socially distant, outdoor community meet ups. Every Sunday in the park I wanted to be there for those who need a meaningful conversation. The idea is that even the smallest interaction with another human can make a massive difference. I am here not to sell anything even though coffee helps with the conversation :-). It is completely free. It's just nice to connect to people in this way, have a meaningful conversation and have a positive impact.



SUNRISE ALSO MAKES IT BETTER
I try to encourage people to come out and experience sunrise at the seafront. It's a wonderful start of the day and the walk a day becomes extremely meaningful. Little positive conversation can really make a difference. 

THE BIKE IS BROKEN...
I try to connect people in safe way to inspire and spread positivity. To do this, I invested all my savings in to coffee equipment and this cargo bike. Unfortunately, the bike broke leaving me unsure if I can continue this journey...



The frame snapped and even though it was welded back together I was told that it is just a matter of time until it breaks again. This makes this cargo bike unsafe to use...

I NEED HELP...
I need your help to fund the new bike designed to what I do so I can continue operating and spreading positivity through Penarth, Wales :-)

I really need this bike. Can you help?
