Ubuntu Cola

27/06/2019

It’s the countdown to the GROW birthday celebration. It's been 5 magical years since our independent canal side creative space opened. To mark the occasion, in addition to a weekend of music, art and community events (5&6 July), we're showcasing some of the products we sell, and use behind the scenes, which share with us a commitment to ethical business and sustainability. At GROW our house cola is Ubuntu Cola. Ubuntu was the UK’s first Fairtrade cola, in 2007, and has been supporting Fairtrade sugar farmers and water access projects in sub Saharan Africa ever since. www.ubuntucola.com 😊

Throwing it back to fun days in the sun... Which festivals would you like to see Ubuntu Cola at next year?!

10/08/2018

As you may know each year we support Vagamondi, our friends from Italy, with the projects they undertake in Africa.

This week we received photos of this years' projects - a well in the village of Ngolingoliwa and an Under Five Clinic in Mangunda.

A massive thank you and congratulations to Davide and the team for their work - we're so proud and grateful to be part of this!

If any of you have been struggling to get your hands on Ubuntu Cola recently, this is probably why...

But fear not, we'll have Ubuntu back in your favourite shops and cafes in no time🎉

CO2 is now central to UK daily life - now, there's shortage. Why is that and what is being done?

...And while we're on the topic of music, we hope that everyone at Boom Festival Official is having a great time and enjoys the last few days!

🎶🦋🎪

We love that Ubuntu Cola is available at a festival which so greatly celebrates creativity, positivity and oneness.

It's World Fairtrade Day tomorrow.
A large amount of our food is grown in developing countries. The farmers are often exploited and paid very small amounts. To combat this and do your part, choose products with the Fairtrade mark!
You can also get involved in the World Fairtrade Challenge and Stand 4 Fairness by uploading a '4' picture to Insta and Facebook to spread the message✨

Hey everyone! is only 2 days away 🍃 This is the perfect time to learn a bit more about Fairtrade Foundation and the great work it does...

✨ As well as the Fairtrade Minimum Price and good working conditions, Fairtrade farmers receive an additional premium. This can be put towards the development of their communities, such as setting up schools, buying medical supplies or building new infrastructures.

Drinking Ubuntu means you're supporting the farmers that made it possible, all while enjoying a great tasting cola 🙌🏻
