Forks Cafe

Forks Cafe A social enterprise in Bradford's Indie Quarter offering amazing food, great coffee & accredited training for those in recovery from substance misuse.

Forks is Bradford’s latest café venue, opening October 2014. First and foremost we provide gorgeous food and superb service offering a fabulous menu of freshly prepared cakes, meals, sandwiches and snacks. Also on offer; a great range of coffees, teas and soft drinks to enjoy in our relaxing environment or take away to enjoy on the go! But Forks is also a social enterprise, providing aspirational

work experience and training through our Academy for people who have recovered from alcohol or drug problems. Our goal is to offer a future to people who want a hand up, not a hand out by ensuring that we give them the best quality skills and experience to find sustainable employment in the future. At Forks, we believe in offering more than just outstanding food and service. We want to create an inspirational space where people meet, socialise and experience the satisfaction of giving hope and opportunity to trainees working to achieve self sufficiency. Forks is owned by the Bridge Project, Bradford’s leading charity providing support to individuals, families and children suffering from the consequences of drug or alcohol dependence. And what’s more... all our profits go directly back into the community to fund this ongoing support and to help many more people make a positive choice when they reach a difficult fork in the road. www.bridge-bradford.org.uk

Customer Notice:

Unfortunately Forks Café has ceased to trade with effect from 30 May 2017.

We would like to thank all our loyal customers for your business and helping to make Forks one of Bradford’s best loved café venues.

Forks is a social enterprise wholly owned by the Bridge Project charity and as well as providing fantastic food and drink it offered work experience and training to unemployed people experiencing significant life challenges. The enterprise has always required external funding in addition to the trading income to be viable and due to central government cuts through austerity this is no longer available.

Forks has provided a legacy through the many trainee graduates who have gone on to find employment and better life opportunities. We are proud of our achievements and our customers, who through their patronage have been part of our success story.

The Bridge Project will continue to support new and existing training and work placements through the Unity Recovery Centre. Anyone who would like more information or advice about a placement can contact the Unity Centre manager on 01274 751860
