Change Please is an organisation where social enterprise and coffee expertise blend. For every cup of coffee they sell, it helps change someone’s life for the better. 100% of their profits go into giving people experiencing homelessness a living wage job, housing, training, onwards opportunities — and a fresh shot at a life. In order for them to stay ahead and continue growing, they accessed a Recovery Loan Scheme (RLS).
