We’re proud to announce the opening of Café 16 at Kier, our newest social enterprise on the HMP Northumberland construction site.
Operating from a converted shipping container, Café 16 provides quality refreshments to construction workers while delivering something far more valuable: meaningful employment opportunities for people rebuilding their lives after prison.
Every coffee served represents a step forward in someone’s journey toward sustainable employment. Our team members gain real-world hospitality experience, develop professional skills, and build the confidence needed to secure long-term work.
This venture demonstrates what’s possible when the construction industry partners with rehabilitation services. By creating employment pathways for people with criminal records, we’re not just reducing reoffending – we’re building stronger communities.
Café 16 joins our growing family of social enterprises, all united by one purpose: proving that everyone deserves a second chance to contribute meaningfully to society.
If you’re working on site at HMP Northumberland, stop by for your morning coffee. You’ll be supporting both great service and genuine social change.
