COMMITTED TO…
GREAT COFFEE
We believe that coffee is best when care is taken on all levels of the production process - from growing the coffee cherries, through to harvest, processing, roasting and brewing. Our passion for coffee is authentic. We hope to create a coffee culture, inspired by science and art, that raises the expectation of what coffee can be. Therefore, we will serve specialty coffee, and value, among other things, ethical sourcing from farm to cup, and environmental sustainability.
AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY
We believe that full life comes through relationships. Our coffee passion is only superseded by our passion for a community where relationships flourish. We hope to create a neighbourhood space where people can gather, share life, and grow in relationships that spill over into our daily lives. Therefore, we will create a hospitable space where people can gather and share life as family.
LIFE-GIVING GENEROSITY
We believe people are worth investment of time, energy, and money. We believe the Creator hard wired many of us with dreams and gifts that will help our neighbourhood and town flourish. Our dream is that our passion for coffee and community will allow us to help others grow and achieve their dreams. Therefore, we will reinvest some of our profit and other resources into people to produce lasting solutions to genuine problems.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE
A few people can have a vision but it takes an enormous amount of people to make FLTR Coffee a success. FLTR Coffee is an incorporated business owned by a group of families who make up one of the Churches in Bicester called Journey Communities. Whilst we are owned by a single church, many other charitable organisations, churches, neighbours, and friends came together on this project to make it happen.
In fact, we were able to raise £23,000 of the start up funds from donations made in our crowd funding effort hosted by chuffed.org. Each one of those donors is a part of this project – and we share the ownership of this project with them.
You Can! Valerie Good Generosity Grant
Valerie Good was an amazing FLTR customer who made a difference in Langford Village just by showing up. What it cost her was the price of 2 cups of coffee and an occasional cake. Val came for coffee, but she gave away a whole lot more. She regularly engaged other Langford residents always offering an interesting conversation and a listening ear. We believe sometimes the simple things we do can have a great impact in the lives of others. We’d never want any of our friends or neighbours to think they couldn’t achieve the dreams to make a difference because they can’t afford it. We’d like to encourage you to think, “I can!” If Valerie can, you can.
Do you have a dream of how you can make your corner of the world a better place? Do you just need a bit of funding and encouragement to help you make it happen? We’d like to help you believe that you can, so you will. FLTR Coffee was built on the idea that we would invest our profits into the dreams of people. We have been setting aside a fund to allow us to kick off this grant scheme. Here’s how it will work:
Each year in April FLTR Coffee will collect grant applications to a deadline. Once applications are received, a select board of people will sift through the applications and determine how much we are able to invest into each project. Recipients of the grants will be notified by June.
