Suspended Coffees Newsroom

About Us

Based on a tradition that began in Naples over 100 years ago, a 'Suspended Coffee' is a pre-paid coffee, purchased at a participating café, that enables someone to give a hot cup of coffee to a person to someone in need.
The Suspended Coffees movement, recognised all over the world, is the brainchild of John Sweeney, a construction worker from Cork. A humanitarian and pioneer for change, John was inspired to set up a Facebook page to spread the word about how a tradition from Naples, Italy could help homeless and less fortunate people. Established only a year ago, the movement now has the support of over 1800 participating cafes worldwide and over 280,000 Facebook followers.
Suspended Coffees is a non-profit, worldwide movement whose members and their customers make a big difference through small acts of kindness.
