Sodexo partners with Redemption Roasters

Sodexo, the main catering provider on campus, has partnered with a local business, Redemption Roasters. They train and support young offenders in barista skills and how to roast their exceptional coffee in prisons. Redemption Roasters not only makes delicious coffee, but it does great things. With multiple training centres in UK prisons, Redemption Roasters give young offenders the chance to upskill for a new life after prison. Their Social Impact report states 'We are a London-based social enterprise who believe that we can reduce reo­ffending in the UK through specialty co­ffee. We already know that prisoners are 50% more likely to reoffend if they leave prison without skills and a job. And we know that in specialty coffee people need exceptional skills'.
