Redemption Roasters
Redemption Roasters describes its mission as reducing reoffending through coffee, training prison leavers and people at risk of offending for secure, meaningful employment. It has roasted at HMYOI Aylesbury and HMP The Mount, and from December 2025 roasts its social impact coffee at a new Wembley roastery, with an HQ in King's Cross.
