At Newcastle Cathedral a small cafe has been brewing more than just exceptional coffee for the past three years. Café 16, an enterprise run by The Oswin Project, has become a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of second chances.
A Unique Blend of Purpose and Flavour
Opened in 2021, Café 16 in Newcastle Cathedral was founded with a dual mission: to serve top-notch coffee and to provide employment opportunities for individuals with criminal records. The cafe has quickly become a local favourite not just for its aromatic blends but for its commitment to social change.
More Than Just a Coffee Shop
Walk into Café 16, and you’ll immediately sense the warmth and positivity that permeates the air. The baristas, all of whom have been given a second chance at employment, greet customers with genuine smiles and an eagerness to serve. It’s this dedication and gratitude that sets the cafe apart and keeps patrons coming back.
Looking to the Future
As Café 16 celebrates its third anniversary, it’s not just looking back on its achievements but forward to its future impact. The success of this cafe proves that with the right support and opportunities, people can transform their lives. It’s a model that challenges stigma and demonstrates the untapped potential in individuals often overlooked by society.
So the next time you’re in the area, why not stop by the Oswin Project Cafe? Your morning coffee could be the catalyst for change in someone’s life.
