What we provide
Change Please believes you shouldn’t have to sacrifice taste to help give back and our coffee has won multiple awards, including nine highly coveted
Product Range
Change Please coffee is served in many coffee shops, restaurants, supermarkets, offices, gyms, trains and planes around the world and you could serve Change Please too. We can provide anything from a few cases of coffee through to full hot drinks solutions including machinery, servicing and training.
Beans
Grind them how you want them. If you are geared up for espresso at home then grind them fine whereas if you love a gentle filter then keep it coarser. Whole bean coffee is widely regarded as the best way to enjoy coffee at its best.
Ground
Take the grind out of making coffee at home. We take our carefully selected and roasted beans and grind them for you. Whether you like a cafetière on a chilled-out Sunday or a double espresso on a Monday morning, having pre-ground coffee ready and waiting makes enjoying your favourite coffee a breeze.
Subscription
Our coffee subscription gives you the opportunity to have specialty coffee delivered directly to your door. With the option to either select a flavour profile that you want to enjoy all year around or have a different coffee each month you are in control.
If you want rich, chocolatey coffees then you’ll love our Tall, Dark & Handsome. Alternatively, if you prefer light and fruity styles then Happy Go Lucky is the one for you. Our Cool, Calm and Collected Decaf delivers amazing flavour without the caffeine and Welcome Guest will be different every month, bringing you the chance to try coffees from the best growing regions around the world.

About us
Change Please Foundation
The Change Please Foundation is the charitable arm of Change Please and does the work alleviating homelessness. The Change Please Foundation is funded by grants, the donations it receives, and the profits generated by the coffee company.
Our pioneering model puts employment first - our goal is to empower people to get back into the working world. We support people experiencing homelessness by training them to become baristas, supporting them with everything they need to turn their lives around – a living wage job, accommodation advice, therapy, bank account and onward employment opportunities.
In October 2021, we also launched a ground-breaking initiative called Driving for Change. We take repurposed iconic London double decker buses to key London Boroughs to provide lifesaving and essential services to the most vulnerable. These include access to general NHS and oral healthcare, a hairdresser, as well as financial inclusion, social support and much more. Our buses can and have also been a way for our guests to access the Change Please Barista Training Programme.
Our Social Mission
Coffee that fuels change
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 our profits help people experiencing homelessness through our Barista Training Programme. We 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.
Our Impact
214 Number of people trained through the barista training programme
Our 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.
Today, we have grown to 10 coffee bars across London and have big plans to expand. We always push ourselves to find innovative solutions to address homelessness.
More recently, in 2021, we 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
It all starts with a cup of coffee!
