Nundah Community Enterprises Cooperative – “We don’t employ people to make coffee; we make coffee to employ people”
It was great to call in to Espresso Train run by Nundah Community Enterprises Cooperative (NCEC) recently with Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner. NCEC were the recipients of the award for best social enterprise at the 2023 Lord Mayors Business Awards They are an absolute institution in Nundah and surrounds and amongst other things operate Espresso Train down near the station. If you are in the vicinity call in to say hello and congratulate them on the great job they are doing in the community.
Brisbane City Council has had a long term relationship with NCEC covering a range of services and it is so pleasing to see them recognised for the valuable work they do in the community. The social enterprise was established to create meaningful work for people with intellectual and cognitive disabilities.
It started in 1998 as a small jobs club and has grown to employ more than 40 disadvantaged workers and train more than 30 others annually.
