Last year, we welcomed Ulyana, a skilled puppeteer from Ukraine, to the TRAMPOLINE Cafe family. Her journey, leaving her home and community due to the conflict, deeply resonates with our mission to provide more than just employment. We aim to offer a supportive community where individuals can find stability and purpose. Ulyana's unwavering spirit and unique perspective made her an integral part of our team. We share her story to emphasise the human impact of conflict and the power of community in rebuilding lives. #Resilience #Community #Inspiration #HumanStories

Brewing Change Together: NEMI Teas and Redemption Roasters Partnership for Social Impact Since 2020, we've been united with Redemption Roasters, a fellow social enterprise, by our shared commitment to positive change. This collaboration brings together our passion for ethical sourcing and empowering individuals facing challenging circumstances, creating a ripple effect of positive impact. At NEMI Teas, we believe in the power of a good cup of tea. We source organic, ethically-grown teas and package them in plastic-free, compostable materials. But our mission goes beyond just great taste. We're a social enterprise dedicated to providing hospitality training and employment opportunities to refugees at TRAMPOLINE Cafe, helping them rebuild their lives in the UK. Redemption Roasters shares a similar vision, using specialty coffee as a vehicle for positive social change. They operate a network of coffee shops and a roastery within a prison, providing training and rehabilitation opportunities to offenders. Their work helps break the cycle of re-offending and empowers individuals to build a brighter future. This partnership is a natural fit. Both NEMI Teas and Redemption Roasters are driven by a deep commitment to social justice and believe in the power of business to create meaningful change. By joining forces, we have amplified our impact and reached even more individuals in need. We believe that businesses have a responsibility to contribute to a more just and equitable society. This partnership is a testament to that belief, and we're thrilled to be working with Redemption Roasters to brew change.
