Our Loving Family…

Employment is shown to help recovery from dependence,  increasing a sense of self worth, improving confidence & supporting the ability to make healthy decisions.

  • Lisa

    I'm bubbly and outgoing, with a caring nature, and I just love to dance and run. A mum to three gorgeous boys. My favourite drink has to be a white americano, if I'm pushing the boat out sometimes will have it iced haha.

  • Jamie

    I can be both loud and outgoing, or shy and quiet (as my mood takes me). I enjoy our boxing classes and I love to sing and dance whilst working at the café.

  • Kierin

    Quiet and cool, with a wicked sense of humour. I’m a huge Marvel fan, and love a milkshake or two!

  • Stacey

    Bubbly and outgoing, I love to cook. I am also a huge football fan. I rely on my friends reminding me to behave, by saying "Princess Stacey”.

  • Linda

    A lover of all things chocolate, and am known as the stressy one of the team!

    Embarrassingly, I have my own jar of instant coffee under the counter, as I don't drink the real stuff!

  • Mariah

    I’m confident, warm and friendly. I love to see others do well, and (if pushed) I’d have to say my favourite drink is an iced berry cooler.

  • Shane

    An excellent pot washer!

    I'm kind and funny and I like a four shot latte.

  • Abbie

    I adore being a mum to my gorgeous son. I am loud, bubbly and caring. I can be very indecisive, but my favourite drink at the café has to be an iced caramel latte.

  • Pippa

    I'm a huge cheerleader for our recovery community, and proud to be part of this magical chocolatey family.

    I'm also mummy/PA to baby Noah, who is often found in the café sipping on a babyccino. I'm afraid you'll need a pen and pad for my order... a decaf, oat, vanilla latte please!

  • Isaac

    Quiet & cool with a great sense of fun, I love a good sing & dance along at close down. My favourite drink is a vanilla oat milk flat white.

    Isaac went on to work in a lovely York restaurant, and has decided to return to the café to help out.

  • Tim

    Loud, outgoing and friendly. I am passionate about food, creating delicious dishes and I love a good mug of tea.

    Tim has moved onto pastures new and is now working for a national wholesaler.

  • Andy

    Quietly confident, a movie fanatic, my favourite drink is a white hot chocolate piled high with marshmallows.

    Andy was our very first team member and he moved on to work for a national hotel chain.

  • Tom

    I'm a good listener, quietly resourceful and enjoy spending my time creatively. I love gaming! My favourite drink is a good latte.

    Tom has now left us to explore new opportunities and interests.

  • Josh

    I'm a bit of a cheeky chappy but also have a very caring heart. I pay attention to detail and like things in order. My favourite lunch is a mac and cheese toastie with an iced caramel latte.
