Helping people believe in their ability to succeed by driving opportunity
As reintegration is so vital for wellbeing and relapse prevention, in 2011 we set up Coffee Ethic. Coffee Ethic offers people the opportunity to learn new skills and build confidence through a volunteering programme of training and personal development. This helps lead them down the path of reintegration back into paid employment and society.
We run a Coffee Cart in St Albans Civic Centre where our clients - and other vulnerable people - gain work experience.
You can visit us at:
St Albans City and District Council
Civic Centre
St Peters Street
St Albans Herts
AL1 3JE
We are open from 8am Monday to Friday and serve freshly roasted coffee, tea, hot chocolate, soft drinks and other light snacks. We run a loyalty scheme so don’t forget to ask for your card when you get your first cup!
How we help people
We want our volunteers to fulfill their potential and we work together to overcome the effects of addiction, including fear, exclusion, insecurity and loneliness. We also want to increase understanding and awareness around recovery within local communities by highlighting the benefits of our reintegration programme.
We know that it is not only people going through recovery who would benefit from this experience. We welcome volunteers who need our help - vulnerable adults - those living with addiction, illness, disability, mental health difficulties or other challenges.
If you, or somebody you know would benefit from volunteering for Coffee Ethic, please get in touch.
