We are thrilled to announce our new space! We’ve partnered with Procter & Gamble Singapore to establish their in-house café that aims to do more than just serve coffee—it’s about creating genuine employment opportunities for persons with disabilities and special needs within a corporate environment. For the first time, we are expanding our offerings beyond our usual espresso-based drinks to include local favourites like kopi and kaya toast.

Thanks to the support from Procter & Gamble Singapore, this café will also serve as a training ground for internships with SPED students, providing them with valuable real-world experience and a pathway to employment with Foreword Coffee. Additionally, we have dedicated space for social enterprises to showcase and sell their merchandise, starting with .gifting as our first featured partner.

This initiative represents a meaningful step towards realizing what inclusive workplaces can look like—one cup of coffee (and one kaya toast) at a time.
