We here at Café Hero are campaigning to keep Falmouth’s independent cafés open and populated in response to the arrival of corporate giants such as Caffé Nero and Costa Coffee and the rumour of Starbucks hitting our high street. Due to the expansion of the Falmouth University campus and its increasing student population, capitalist companies are keen to cash in on the market, which threatens to destroy local business.

This is not a hate campaign targeting big business; it is a campaign to raise awareness of and promote local cafés who offer an alternative, more wholesome experience that could potentially struggle to compete in the current economy.

Check out our video that highlights the aims of our campaign. It includes interviews from the
owners of our featured cafés, the assistant manager at the newly opened Caffé Nero and
Karl Shaddick the FXU Falmouth President.

To launch this campaign we have four local independent cafés, Babahogs, Jam, Caffé Veneto and
Citrus Café on board who are excited to get involved and support each other against the
commercial coffee giants and their generic style. Check out what each café has to offer on the profile pages.

A pledge of support has been produced, which can be signed to show your support for the campaign.
To add your name to the list, all you need to do is email us as support@cafehero.co.uk.

THE WINNERS ARE UP THIS WEEK AT BABAHOGS (24th - 30th November)
Why not come along to see the work and use your coffee card at the same time, and if you don't have one
pick one up for free!

In promoting this campaign we will be targeting three locations, Tremough, Woodlane and Falmouth
High Street, swamping them with posters, postcards and coffee loyalty cards. Together with these,
each of the cafés has a selection of coasters and badges that you can take home on your next visit.

Café Hero would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been involved in the campaign,
especially Simon Corry, Mandy Kemp, Dom Lilly and Clair Collins, as without their support our aims for the
campaign would not have been realised. We would also like to thank all of you who have supported the
campaign by visiting each of the café’s and using your coffee cards. Don't foret to enter our competition to
win free exhibition space at Babahogs.
