Impact

We believe it's our responsibility to use our resources and assets to drive social and environmental change. As a small business, we're committed to developing ways to support charitable causes and environmental campaigns that align with Moose’s values and philanthropic goals. We aim to empower our staff, customers, suppliers, and stakeholders to actively participate in fundraising efforts.

  • At Moose, we believe in the power of collaboration to create real social impact. By partnering with local organizations, we help individuals develop essential skills, gain valuable experience, and access meaningful employment opportunities.

    Previous Partnerships

    LFC Foundation – Workplace Experience Program
    We partnered with the LFC Foundation to introduce young professionals to the skills required in the hospitality industry. Through in-store coffee training, health and safety workshops, and CV-building sessions—including mock interviews—we helped participants gain confidence and practical experience to support their career development.

    The Learning Foundry – Creating Opportunities and Driving Social Mobility
    With a mission to “Make Talent Shine,” The Learning Foundry is dedicated to supporting individuals into meaningful employment with fair wages while addressing skills gaps and reducing employment inequalities. Aligned with these values, Moose partnered with The Learning Foundry to deliver workplace programs that create real job opportunities for those in disadvantaged communities.

    As part of this initiative, we hired an individual from the program who has now been with us for over two years. Throughout their time at Moose, they have progressed within our store and worked across multiple sites, building valuable experience and growing within our team. This success story is a testament to the impact of our partnership in fostering long-term career development and social mobility.

  • We recognise our corporate, social, and ethical responsibility to contribute to environmental preservation and tackling climate change. That's why we've launched a Sustainable Practice Strategy, setting achievable and aspirational targets each year. While we already practice several ethical and green initiatives, we're always seeking ways to improve.

    • We use 100% recyclable take-out packaging, 100% biodegradable paper straws, and all our stores serve soft drinks in glass bottles.

    • Our Moose coffee blend is Fairtrade.

    • 62% of our menu is vegetarian or vegan.

    • Our waste is sorted and recycled after collection, including all our food waste.

    • Moose Ambassadors in each store championing our values & sustainability goals.

    Our Suppliers…
    For the past eighteen years, we've prioritised using high-quality local and ethical suppliers from the North West whenever possible to reduce our carbon footprint and support our local economy. We believe it's important for you to know where your food comes from…
