COFFEE THAT
FIGHTS
HOMELESSNESS
The coffee you choose can be someone else’s fresh start. Not just an important part of your day - but a new beginning for someone else. That’s the power behind pods of Nespresso for Change Please coffee.
To date, we’ve committed over £1.5 million to Change Please, a social enterprise that trains people experiencing homelessness to become baristas - giving them the skills, stability, and support to rebuild their lives.
CHANGE IS... A SECOND SHOT
Your coffee has funded workshops, therapy, training, and the support people experiencing homelessness need to have a fresh start. But we’re just getting started. We’ve got big plans, including paths to employment within Nespresso, ensuring long-term positive impact.

“Change Please didn’t just give me a job — they gave me a second chance, a sense of dignity, and hope for a brighter future for me and my son.”

cause, supporting individuals with a second shot at life.

FRESH STARTS IN OUR BOUTIQUES
Our partnership with Change Please continues to create meaningful and lasting impact.
Now in its second year, our collaboration is growing stronger, with ambitious plans to support even more people on their journey out of homelessness. Together, we’re opening-up opportunities, including pathways to employment within our boutique network, to help build long-term, positive change.
Our aim? To offer a three-month paid placement across all regions of our boutique network for a Change Please trainee. These placements provide invaluable hands-on experience within our warm and supportive teams, helping individuals take confident steps back into the world of work.
People are at the heart of this initiative. In the first 12 months alone, Nespresso employees contributed over 600 hours of volunteering – from CV writing and interview preparation, to employability workshops designed to build skills and self-belief.
This work is backed by a continued financial commitment that will:
- • Empower Change Please to support more trainees over the next 18 months
- • Amplify awareness through dedicated marketing support
- • Fund a new retail space, expanding opportunities for more trainees and graduates
- • Help develop a new social impact project in collaboration with the UK Government

Why have Nespresso chosen to support Change Please?
Homelessness is a significant societal problem in the UK. It is estimated that more than 300,000 people are currently experiencing homelessness, and these figures are likely to be even higher as many people are missed from records due to being out of sight.
How are Nespresso helping Change Please?
Nespresso is passionate about supporting communities in the markets in which it operates and has chosen to partner with Change Please for its important work in using
coffee as a force for good.
In addition to the £1 million donation in year 1 and £500k in year 2, Nespresso will support by sharing information around this topic and giving opportunities for
customers and colleagues to get involved through volunteering and direct donations.
Financial commitment: Nespresso has committed to giving a minimum of £500k to Change Please for year 2 of the partnership. It will be used to progress their
mission of helping individuals experiencing homelessness through barista training, a living wage job, mental health support and onward employment opportunities.
How long will the campaign run for?
At Nespresso, we want to provide long term support to enable Change Please to continue to do brilliant work within many communities. Considering this, we haven’t put an end date on this partnership – we will work with Change Please for as long as they’ll allow us to.
What proportion of the accessories will be donated to Change Please?
In addition to the £1 million partnership donation, Nespresso will give an additional 10% of the profits made from sales of all limited-edition Vertuo mug and Vertuo Gran Lungo mug to the Change Please Foundation.
