Oxford-based Missing Bean has launched a limited-edition Christmas coffee called The Torch to raise funds for homelessness charity The Porch.

Oxford-based coffee roaster Missing Bean has launched a limited-edition Christmas coffee called The Torch to raise funds for The Porch, a charity supporting people facing homelessness in the city. For every bag sold, £1 will be donated to the charity, which is based on Magdalen Road in East Oxford.

The two organisations have previously supported each other. Missing Bean regularly donates unsold bread and pastries to The Porch, helping to feed people in need whilst reducing food waste. However, this is their first official fundraising collaboration.

Olly Wilkins, marketing director at Missing Bean Coffee Roasters, said the decision to support The Porch this winter was a priority. 'We hope The Torch does exactly what it stands for: a coffee that will increase awareness, raise vital funds, and act as a symbol of light and warmth for those in need this Christmas.' The Porch provides showers, laundry facilities, clothing, IT access and individual support to its guests alongside hot meals.
