ABOUT

Tap Social Movement is an independent social enterprise brewery, bakery, and hospitality organisation that provides training and employment for people from prison. To date, it has created more than 100,000 hours of paid employment for leavers, and today, roughly one-third of its team has lived experience with the UK’s criminal justice system. Visit Tap Social at its four Oxfordshire community venues: its flagship Botley taproom, The Market Tap inside The Covered Market, Proof Social Bakehouse, and Tap Social at Lock29.

Brian Spencer Marketing manager Tap social movement
I truly believe that there’s no place quite like Oxford, a small city with a global, forward-thinking outlook and one that punches well above its weight. I feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of this community while working with such a great organisation.

– Brian Spencer, Marketing Manager

I’ve loved the Tap Social since they started. Not only do they brew delicious beer while also doing amazing work with ex-offenders, but the energy, enthusiasm and positivity of the whole team is absolutely infectious. Plus the Indie Disco at the Botley Taproom is easily one of Oxford’s best nights out!

– Dominic Utton, Owner of Pop Vulture
