Feel Good Coffee Shop
The only thing better than a good coffee and a catch up with friends, is a *Feel Good* coffee and a catch up in our cosy new coffee house!
On Saturday 8th June, we opened the doors to our very first Feel Good Coffee Shop!
What started out as an unused shop unit – infamously derelict across from Southfields Station, has now been completely refurbished and turned into a gorgeous space that FEELS GOOD as soon as you enter it, thanks to everyone who has supported this dream. This space is an extension of our 2 Feel Good Coffee Carts currently open in Battersea, and we hope it will be the first of many, providing more employment to young people across south West London!
The Feel Good shop has been a dream for Regenerate since the first coffee cart opened in 2020, and is a massive milestone for Regenerate as a whole.
Moving slightly from our former ‘The Feel Good Bakery’ our new ‘Feel Good’ branding marks a huge evolution since we first opened up as a sandwich business 10 years ago. The Feel Good Bakery has since gone through multiple reshapes, new structures, new products (evolving into a mobile coffee business in 2020 after COVID-19 lockdowns) and now, a new location, space, and size, and a new name to match.
This marks a massive period of growth for us, as it will allow us to employ almost twice as many young people; Over the next year we will be able to employ over 40 young people, offering them a year of employment as well as the mentoring support that makes our service so impactful. The extra support they receive helps them hone in on the skills they need to develop, plan for their future and really make the most of their 12 months with us. To provide this, we will need to grow our Feel Good mentoring team, and would love if you could help us do this.
It’s safe to say that we’re feeling really good about this new adventure, the experience it will give to young people, and the impact it will have on both the young people we work with and the local community.
Thank you to everyone who made this possible:
Everyone who cycled with us from Rome to Home, and those who sponsored them – raising £90,000 to get this dream off the ground.
The organisations and individuals who helped us fund the refurbishment of our space.
And all our team members – you guys are already smashing it and have adapted to the space incredibly – we’re so lucky that we get to work with you and see you thrive!
