Community
The Wicker Chair Coffee House and Bistro is the trading arm of JET, a local charity based in Elswick, Newcastle upon Tyne. JET helps people who are most in need to find a job or training opportunities, as well as become active members if their communities. We encourage community cohesion and personal health and wellbeing through a variety of projects, ranging from careers advice, women only and integration projects. ESOL (English for Speakers of other Languages) programmes, specific to the job market, creative projects and programmes around volunteering. Most of our work is around employment support as many of our clients have English as a Second Language, including Refugees from around the world and little experience of the UK job market.
Our Approach
The Wicker Chair has developed from a fantastic partnership with Palatine Beds and Your Homes Newcastle – with the support of which we have been able to create a unique eating experience in the heart of Westerhope. Our focus is very much on ethical food consumption, with a menu developed in a way that reduces food waste and in partnership with FareShare North East. The coffee shop allows us the opportunity to not only raise funds for our charity but also to showcase our work and bring employment and training opportunities into the local community.
Partnership
The partnership with Palatine Beds has allowed us to work with some fantastic charitable organisations, who all support each other and can demonstrate that charity and enterprise can definitely go hand-in-hand. This includes Fareshare North East and Nourish Food School.
