IMPACT

We want to tackle the homelessness crisis by bringing people in our communities together and offering a simple solution to a huge problem - employment.

When you buy our great tasting coffee, or donate to our foundation, we use 100% of those profits to help people maintain stable employment and get into permanent housing. It’s that simple and proven to be incredibly effective. We make it easy for communities to support and care for those in need.

We make two simple commitments to you – First, our coffee tastes amazing (if it didn’t you wouldn’t buy it would you?). Second, we keep our profits in the business and use them to support people experiencing homelessness.

THE CHANGE PLEASE BARISTA TRAINING PROGRAMME

At Change Please, our top priority is to help people experiencing homelessness to build long-term stability through employment.

Through their time with us, Trainees learn practical skills like pouring latter art and delivering great customer service, as well as soft skills like interviewing and how to best position themselves for career advancement.

The whole process is designed to elevate a Trainee's confidence and self-worth. They are paid a living wage for their training program and provided opportunities to experience themselves as valued community members and service providers. At the end of training graduates receive one-on-one support in identifying and pursuing roles that match their career goals.
