CHARITY BAR CASE STUDY
The St Andrews charity annual ball wanted to maximise their fundraising efforts for the UNICEF Emergency Gaza Appeal. They needed a premium mobile bar hire service and to support their cause further we decided to donate all the profits from every single drink sold. We served 350 prepaid drinks and an additional 200 cash bar orders. This high volume service kept the traditional Scottish dancing going all night and allowed us to donate £500 directly to the UNICEF Emergency Gaza Appeal. They truly put the fun into fundraising and proved exactly how impactful a sustainable event bar can be.

For this charity fundraiser we curated our signature world's most ethical drinks menu. Guests enjoyed a premium range of ocean saving and sustainable beverages:
Deforestation Free Margarita (El Sueño & Funkin): Poured using super sustainable deforestation free tequila from a zero waste distillery. This is perfectly paired with a B Corp certified Funkin mixer.
Not For Profit Espresso Martini (Evrythng Vodka & Funkin): A delicious blend of sustainable vodka from the Not For Profit Spirits Co. They donate their profits to support vital nature conservation via the Shropshire Wildlife Trust. Expertly shaken with B Corp certified Funkin mixers.
THIS EVENT HELPED EMPLOY 1 VULNERABLE STAF
By choosing us for this charity ball St Andrews helped us provide professional hospitality employment for a vulnerable staff member. Our team members often face significant barriers to employment but we believe talent is universal. That is why we actively employ individuals navigating homelessness, living with disabilities or rebuilding their lives after past convictions. For us a shift is not just about employment it is a stepping stone to stability and the support they need to build a new future.
To ensure the charity fundraiser was truly climate positive we planted a forest of 100 trees and protected 300 more from deforestation through our verified partnership with Ripple Africa. During the lifetime of these trees they will sequester 30 tonnes of carbon which is the equivalent of driving 73,000 miles in a standard car. This forest includes fruit trees that provide sustainable food and income for the local farming community.

SCARLETT, EVENT ORGANISER
“When organising our charity ball we needed an ethical mobile bar service that could deliver premium drinks while reflecting our fundraising goals. Better World Bar Hire delivered a fully sustainable digital bar with 3 taps that enhanced our guest experience. The team curated a bespoke drinks menu and personally donated all their profits to help us raise £500 directly to the UNICEF Emergency Gaza Appeal. Their service was professional and polished and proved that you do not need to compromise on quality to run a climate positive charity event. I cannot recommend them enough for any charity looking to host a truly sustainable fundraiser.”
