Change Please
Founded in 2015, Change Please is an award-winning social enterprise tackling homelessness through the power of social enterprise and great tasting coffee. 100% of profits help people experiencing homelessness through their Barista Training Programme. They train people experiencing homelessness to become baristas and support them with everything they need to turn their lives around – a living wage job, accommodation advice, therapy, bank account and onward employment opportunities.
Change please’s impact work started in London with a single coffee cart in Covent Garden. This was followed by the opening of the Change Please training academy in Peckham, London, training to Speciality Coffee Association standards.
In 2021, Change please launched a new Impact Programmes called Driving for Change, which delivers vital services to the most vulnerable. The services our guests have access to include NHS and oral healthcare nurses, a hairdresser, social support, digital and financial literacy training and inclusion, financial advice, support with employment and much more. This programme was supported by Decanter in 2024.
Change Please: Decanter is committed to annual funding to support Change Please in their mission to tackle homelessness, including the Drive for Change programme.
It all starts with a cup of coffee!
