Homes
At the core of our mission is the belief that everyone deserves a place to call home. Through projects like the Social Bite Village in Edinburgh, we provide safe, supportive communities where people can rebuild their lives. With two new villages planned in Scotland in South Lanarkshire and Dundee, we continue to expand its impact, offering more individuals the chance for a fresh start.
Jobs
Employment is another key focus. Through initiatives like our “Jobs First” employment programme; Social Bite creates opportunities for people who have faced immense challenges, helping them regain confidence and independence. With 100 individuals who have experienced homelessness now having been employed as part of the programme across the UK, the outcomes continue to inspire change and break down barriers to employment with lasting impact.
Food
Social Bite Coffee Shops provide great food for a great cause. Through our pay it forward system, customers can choose to pay forward the cost of a coffee or meal to people experiencing homelessness. We provide a daily non-judgemental free food service for people who would otherwise go without, alongside kind and caring support. The coffee shops also provide job opportunities to people accessing the Jobs First programme.
Change
Beyond direct support, Social Bite is driving real change. By working with businesses, policymakers, and the public, we are shifting attitudes and pushing for systemic solutions.
Ending homelessness requires collective effort. Even small acts of kindness can create a ripple effect, changing lives in ways that may not always be seen. With enough support, we believe we can build a future where homelessness is no longer a reality.
