Coffee4Craig was founded in 2013 by Risha and Hendrix Lancaster following the death of Risha’s brother Craig White, who died of a heroin overdose whilst sleeping on the streets in Cardiff. Coffee4Craig was born in his memory and started as a simple idea that if you pass someone sleeping on the streets, buy them a coffee and say, 'This is from Craig'. From these beginnings, Coffee4Craig has continued to grow and develop. Coffee4Craig currently runs an indoor evening drop-in provision 7 nights a week, based at ‘The Meanwhile’ 153 Great Ducie Street, where guests can access a wide range of facilities and support.
