Overview
As part of our commitment to supporting men’s mental health across the North East, we have deployed our Coffee Space, a mobile coffee van bringing high-quality, barista-standard coffee directly into workplaces and communities. More than just great coffee, the Coffee Space provides a welcoming, positive environment where men can connect, chat, and access our support services if they wish.
