We started BaxterStorey with a very simple idea – to provide fresh, locally sourced good food made by talented well-trained teams, who love giving our customers a memorable experience. We have now teamed with Social Bite which is founded by Josh Littlejohn MBE and Alice Thompson, Social Bite began life as a small cafe in Edinburgh, Scotland, in August 2012, since then they have become a major employer of people experiencing homelessness and extreme barriers to employment, as well as the largest provider of free freshly made free food in the UK to those in need.

We are opening a brand-new Café in Strand, London where we will be supporting people who have experienced homelessness into real job opportunities. The Café will have the same ethos they have in Edinburgh and give back to the local community in giving people who have experienced homelessness extensive wrap around support to assist them to build on their skills, re-integrate into society and transform their own lives through the Jobs First Programme which is running successfully at the moment in Scotland.
