How it works
It’s all about the coffee. But then it’s not really about the coffee at all.
Beans, ground or instant for your kitchen, or a café we run for you. It’s already poured at 64 locations.
Our cups are printed with helplines such as Samaritans and Combat Stress. In 2025, 616,500 drinks went out in them.
They’re mental health trained, and many have lived experience of military life. Our outreach no longer depends on grants.
Coffee mornings, breakfasts and one-to-one help. In 2025, 235 veterans were supported through our outreach.

The coffee
Nobody keeps buying a coffee just for the cause, so we start with what’s in the cup.
Our core blend. Smooth, with red plum, almond and dark chocolate. Named after St George’s House at HMP Hollesley Bay, where our first beans were roasted.
The same coffee under a different name, made to get people talking wherever it’s poured.
Like Fusion for Sizewell C, The King’s Colour with British Airways and Butch’s Brew for Ipswich Town.
Our coffee is already served at 64 locations across the UK. Here are some of them.
