Bloom Coffee Academy CIC

The Bloom Coffee Academy CIC was set up to train those affected by homelessness to become qualified baristas. The time frame is not fixed as we understand people absorb at different rates, and we prefer to work at the candidates speed. Once trained, they receive two industryrecognised SCA qualifications to help them find onward employment. We have successfully trained over 80 people in the academy since we began. Our candidates have been referred to us through various charity partners and have not been solely affected by homelessness, but have other challenges and blockers in getting into employment.
