What if your morning coffee could change homeless lives? Change Please in London, England, empowers homeless people with the skills, equipment and specialty beans they need to become fully-fledged baristas. With the support and power of The Big Issue, they can serve coffee that tastes good, and does good too.

Every homeless person who enters the program is provided with housing, training and support throughout the course and will be paid London living wage. After six months, they are moved into full time employment with one of our partners working as a barista at the cart. See how this delicious program is changing lives, one cup of coffee at a time!

"If we all changed where we bought our coffee, we could change the world."
