Every Wednesday the team from Endeavour Group Singleton are ready to help local businesses kick start their morning with a coffee run.
Endeavour Group have been creating choice and opportunity for people with a disability in the Hunter Valley since 1967. In late 2015, Endeavour Group made the move to the Singleton area, offering people with a disability greater choice in their pathways to independence in the community.
The coffee run is an exciting new venture run entirely by the clients of Endeavour Group Singleton; with support of the locally owned cafe Happy Grillmores. On a weekly basis, Endeavour Group Singleton clients visit businesses along John Street, taking orders and delivering coffees with a smile. READ MORE
