In our June issue, Rosanna Spence visited one of the newest additions to Gloucester Road, The Key Café ☕️

Brad, a barista at the café, made her flat white. He had only been out of prison for a few days after a 15-month stretch, but said the job at the café had given him “an opportunity and structure.”

“Even if 15 months doesn’t sound long to everyone outside, inside it is. When I came out, I was so anxious I was shaking.”

With reoffending rates increasing, believes we have to do rehabilitation differently by tapping into the unlocked potential that exists inside our prison estate ⭐️

In our June mag, we chat to the mastermind behind the café, Suzanne Thompson, and find out how initiatives like this one can help transform lives and lessen the cycle of reoffending 💛

📍 The Key Café, 246 Gloucester Road, BS7 8NZ (open Tuesday to Saturday 8.30am-4pm)
