Our Story

young adult learning disability being taught coffee making

We’re Fair Shot - A social enterprise cafe and registered UK charity (no. 1190582) located in the heart of London. We aim to transform the lives of young adults with learning disabilities and/or autism through coffee beans.

100% of our sales goes back into training our learners and empowering employers.

We opened the doors to our first cafe in December 2021, and haven’t looked back since.
