hospitality against homelessness.

Only A Pavement Away was founded and inspired by Greg & Gill Mangham, who refused to accept that people facing homelessness or sleeping on the streets, were in these situations due to some fault of their own with many being the result of circumstances beyond the individual’s control. At the same time, there was an increasing awareness that the hospitality sector needed to employ a large number of team members, to meet the needs of a growing industry.

It seemed only sensible therefore, to marry the need for new team members within the hospitality industry with those who, with the right opportunity, would be able to get their lives back on track.

Established in 2018, Only A Pavement Away now connects forward thinking employers in the hospitality industry and charities working with people facing or experiencing homelessness, prison leavers and veterans, to help place them into long term, stable employment within hospitality.

We collaborated with Only A Pavement Away via the Work for Good Scheme in 2019, to produce one of our very first charity beers, Pave The Way Pale Ale.
