About Redemption Roasters
Redemption Roasters is a specialty coffee company with a unique approach to business. It was established in 2015 with the aim of rehabilitating offenders and reducing reoffending rates through training and employment opportunities in the coffee industry. The company has made a significant impact in the criminal justice system.
Redemption Roasters provide coffee training and employment to young offenders and prisoners. The company partners with prisons and operates its own roastery and coffee shops, both inside and outside of prison walls. By offering meaningful work and skills training, Redemption Roasters aim to equip individuals with the tools they need to reintegrate into society successfully.
Redemption Roasters’ training programme covers various aspects of the coffee industry, including coffee sourcing, roasting, brewing, and customer service.
Participants receive hands-on experience and the opportunity to earn professional qualifications recognised in the coffee industry. This comprehensive training helps them develop transferable skills.
Redemption Roasters sells its coffee products through its own coffee shops, online store, and wholesale partnerships. The company emphasises quality and ethically sourced coffee, working directly with coffee farmers and ensuring fair prices. By purchasing Redemption Roasters coffee, customers support the company's mission of providing second chances and reducing reoffending rates.
The approach taken by Redemption Roasters has gained recognition and praise for its positive social impact. It not only helps individuals with a criminal record find employment but also challenges the negative perceptions society often holds about ex-offenders. By focusing on rehabilitation and empowerment, Redemption Roasters strive to break the cycle of reoffending and create a more inclusive and supportive society.
