Our most recent festival, Love Beer London, took place in partnership with the London Brewers Alliance and SIBA Southeast, and took place 13-15 February 2020, only a short month before COVID-19 brought the UK into its first lockdown.

Together, we managed to raise nearly £10,000 for The Benevolent, now called The Drinks Trust, a charity that provides support, care and assistance to people working in the drinks trade. Considering the upheaval many hospitality and drinks industry workers would find themselves in during the cycles of lockdown, furlough, reopening, and in some cases losing their jobs, we are glad to have been able to have contributed to such an incredible charity when we were able to do so.

Although our current plans for our next festival event may be some months off, if not perhaps even a bit longer, we at Craft Beer Cares are keen to promote other events, organisations, fund-raisers, and programmes that are supporting charities and non-profit organisations big and small, taking place throughout the UK.
