Social Bite is a non-profit charitable social enterprise that originated in Scotland, UK. It was founded in 2012 by Josh Littlejohn MBE and Alice Thompson, starting from a single coffee shop in Edinburgh. It has now grown into a nationwide homelessness support campaign across the UK, providing systematic assistance centered on three core areas: food, housing, and employment.
Its core services are divided into three sections: It provides unconditional free food and hot drinks to vulnerable groups, which can be claimed daily at its self-operated coffee shops, and it also holds group meal events; It runs the innovative Social Bite Village supported housing project – the Edinburgh location is already operational, and a second site is expected to open in 2026, offering independent, habitable accommodation with 24/7 support for people experiencing homelessness; It launched the Jobs First employment program, providing 15 months of paid positions and trauma-informed support to help participants secure stable long-term employment.
Social Bite innovatively combines the models of social enterprise and public charity: All profits from its self-operated coffee shops are reinvested into charitable programs, and it encourages customers to make pre-donations through its "Pay it Forward" mechanism. This model allows the organization to be self-sustaining while creating an accessible entry point for the public to participate in charity, making it far more sustainable than traditional charities that rely solely on donations. Its proposed supported housing model has already influenced housing assistance policies for 27 local governments across Scotland, demonstrating meaningful industry impact.
However, all of the organization's services are only available within the UK, so non-UK users cannot access its support programs. The website also offers no Chinese language support, so for domestic users [ed: users in China], its main value lies in providing reference and inspiration for charitable operation models.
The official UK website can currently be accessed directly via public networks, with stable page loading and no need for a proxy tool. It is suitable for users interested in social impact innovation to visit and learn about its operation model, and international users who wish to donate can also complete their donation directly through the official site.
