Volunteer

We are proud to be a volunteer-led organisation, where the number of volunteers outweighs the number of employees.

Our Coffee

Our premium coffee beans are directly sourced and sustainably traced from a family run farm in Brazil.

Our Company

Our mission is to improve the mental health, wellbeing and outcomes for veterans, ex-uniformed personnel, their families and communities. We do this by roasting and selling the best Brazilian coffee and investing the profits in high impact outreach programmes, education, training and development.

Our Impact

We show people how their lives could be different by providing them with immediate, practical help and signposting them to services they may need, such as mental health support, physical wellbeing, jobs, training or housing.

Get support

We provide safe, non-judgmental places for veterans and ex-uniformed services personnel struggling with their mental health and wellbeing to start conversations and gain immediate and practical help. This includes referrals to counselling, other avenues for support and training for work – so they gain a new sense of purpose, identity and hope.

Our Services

We offer a range of services including veteran and prison outreach, barista academy training and event hire.
