David Lloyd Clubs is proud to be one of the founding contributors to Change Please and their biggest corporate donor. We have so far raised over £3.7 million, helping 250 people access training, support and/or employment.
Our donations support the Driving for Change double decker buses that offer dental, hairdressing and medical support and advice to people experiencing homelessness in London. As well as serving Change Please coffee in our UK Clubs, David Lloyd Clubs has gifted two mobile coffee vans which have been used to sell coffee at cultural events across the UK, such as All Points East, Standon Calling and Sports Stadia such as the Kia Oval. In 2022, these dual branded vans provided work experience for an additional 18 trainees; with one van now permanently sited in Canary Wharf.
We are determined to grow our support for Change Please and the incredible work they do to support people and reduce homelessness in the future.
Driving for Change
Driving for Change is a mobile outreach service designed to meet people where they are. The bus provides access to essentials like healthcare, dental checks, haircuts, financial advice, and a wellness area for visitors to take time out and look after their wellbeing. It’s about dignity, opportunity and practical support.
By meeting people where they are and creating a safe, supportive environment, the bus helps to build trust and opens up pathways towards training, employment and independent living.
Russell Barnes, CEO of David Lloyd Clubs, said:
“We’re proud to have been in partnership with Change Please for the past five years, and our relationship continues to go from strength to strength. Over this time, we’ve seen how every cup of their award-winning coffee served in our Clubs helps change lives funding training, jobs, and housing for those experiencing homelessness.
We are also proud to employ graduates from their training programme, giving them the opportunity to build lasting careers. This is a very special milestone as we launch the David Lloyd Clubs’ ‘Driving for Change’ bus. This mobile outreach project, six months in the making, will bring vital services directly to people who need them most across London. We are thrilled to play a part in making this happen.”
Cemal Ezel OBE, Founder and Co-CEO of Change Please, said:
“This year, as Change Please celebrates its 10th anniversary, the launch of the Driving for Change bus represents a powerful new chapter in our mission. Driving for Change is about meeting people at their most vulnerable and offering the first steps towards rebuilding lives. We are deeply grateful to the David Lloyd Clubs community for their continued belief in our mission.”
