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
