- Problem Identified: Since 2010, homelessness has doubled in the UK. Now, over 4,000 people sleep rough every night. This is unacceptable. Change Please believes that the nation’s love of coffee is so strong - it could be just what we need to end homelessness once and for all.
- Solution Offered: By training and employing homeless people to be baristas, paying London Living Wage, helping with housing, providing emotional support and a clear path into employment, they are helping homeless people to once again feel safe secure and valued by society.
- Social Impact: By meeting society’s growing demand for coffee, Change Please is eliminating stigma and alleviating the problem of homelessness.
