Coffee: Works & Grounded

Barking and Dagenham residents learnt barista skills in the Coffee:Works programme

The Coffee:Works programme brought together a group of people over six weeks to learn everything needed to set up and run a new coffee shop business together.

Residents learnt barista skills as well as how to set up a coffee shop and cafe. Later they could apply to run the cafe, called Grounded, for a trial period of ten months and earn London Living Wage.
