About us
The Feeding and Empowering the Homeless Café is an innovative social enterprise located on the outskirts of Glasgow city centre, aimed at addressing homelessness through immediate support and sustainable development opportunities.
Our project was inspired by direct interactions with the homeless population through our outreach program in the city centre; where we provide hot meals and drinks during the winter. During these outreach sessions; we engaged in meaningful conversations with homeless individuals; listening to their experiences; needs; and suggestions.
It was through these discussions that the idea of a café tailored to their needs emerged. Many expressed the desire for a safe and welcoming place where they could not only receive a nutritious meal but also access opportunities for training and employment that could help them rebuild their lives. Their feedback highlighted the importance of creating a supportive community hub that goes beyond basic sustenance; offering a pathway to empowerment and reintegration into society. This community-driven insight was instrumental in shaping the vision for our café; ensuring that it directly responds to the needs and aspirations of those it aims to serve.
