BROTHERS Nate and Ajay Grindrod served up dozens of cappuccinos and café au laits to raise money for those affected by the Manchester bombing.

Eight-year-old Nate and Ajay, six, raised £69 by running their own coffee shop - Nate's Coffees - at their Winsford home for six hours.

The brothers served coffees to family and friends and passers-by from a coffee machine Nate had asked for for his eighth birthday in April.

Nate and Ajay are pupils at High Street Community Primary School in Winsford, and ran the coffee stall from a porch at the front of their house in Stocks Hill.

Their customers included people from nearby Lakeside Caravan Park, and their auntie Gwenda Francis brought home-made biscuits.

“The lady from the previous house on the land where we built our house used to sell coffees and ice creams to passers-by, and Nate wanted to start a coffee shop as a little business,” said mum Andrea.

“Nate has always been a thoughtful child, and after they had discussed in school the bombing in Manchester he wanted to open a coffee shop to raise money for the appeal fund.

“They offered latte macchiatos, cappuccinos, café au laits and Americanos, and a lot of people who stopped gave a donation without having a coffee.

“They sold about 30 cups of coffee, and made £69 for the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.

“For a six and an eight-year-old to be out there all day is really good – I am very proud of them.”

The brothers are planning to run the coffee stall again, on Sunday, June 25, to raise money for St Luke’s Hospice.

The fundraiser is being held in conjunction with Go Yellow Friday on Friday, June 23, in aid of the hospice.

The day before the brothers’ serve up their latest charity coffees mum Andrea will be taking part in the Pretty Muddy Race for Life at Tatton Park on Saturday, June 24.

Andrea will be part of a 10-strong Winsford district nursing team, and anyone who would like to support them can visit fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/team/winsford-wobblers?

The team has raised £405 towards their £960 target.
