Tapp'd Charitable Trust

To mark our 4th year of trading we are delighted and honoured to be launching the Tappd Charitable Trust from Feb 1st 2023.

Working in partnership with our local
MP Anna Firth the Tappd Charitable Trust has been formed to assist charitable causes in our community.

We look forward to working with Anna to support a mixture of charities close to our hearts and most importantly Little Havens Hospice which offers overnight respite breaks, emergency stays and support at the end of a child’s life.

Tony Plato our Managing Director and the entire Tapp’d family are honoured and deeply obliged to do what ever we can to support these worthy and incredibly important charities that touch our hearts.

“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone of our customers who have supported us on our business journey to date.”

This support allows us to undertake this act of human kindness which now forms a hugely important part of our internal DNA.

Drink Aware Campaign

We are delighted to announce that our range of drinks are now available at Cambridge University.

This is our first launch into the Higher Education sector and, in tandem with the supply of our cocktails, we are pleased to initiate our drink awareness campaign.

Our Managing Director Tony Plato says “This important initiative is not only part of our social and corporate responsibility, but also something very close to my heart. To that end, I am delighted to be chairing an evening of learning and discussion in every university our drinks are served in. I am honoured and humbled to be working with keynote speakers from our industry, alcohol abuse experts, government health advisors and a few celebrities who will speak openly and honestly about their relationship with alcohol.”

We look forward to providing their students independent alcohol advice, information and knowledge to help us all make better choices about our drinking habits.
