For Change Co. is a not-for-profit social enterprise that exists to create pathways out of homelessness for young people. We do this by running hospitality venues that act as both training and employment spaces for the young people at-risk of homelessness, supporting our beneficiaries to gain confidence, community, experience in employment and to move towards living independently. 100% of profits from our venues are directed into our training program. Middle Park will be our largest café to date, hosting up to 15 trainees each year to create their own pathway out of the cycle of homelessness. Show less
