About
Ignition Brewery is a unique and inspiring social enterprise that employs and trains individuals with learning disabilities to brew and serve delicious beer. Since its inception in 2015, Ignition has been dedicated to creating a more inclusive workforce, believing that everyone deserves the opportunity to lead a full and active life. By providing fair wages and meaningful employment, they empower their staff to build self-confidence and develop valuable skills that extend beyond the brewery.
At Ignition, the ethos is simple: the more beer they sell, the more jobs they create. This commitment to social change is at the heart of everything they do. As an award-winning brewery, every penny spent goes directly back into supporting their mission of offering more employment opportunities. Their taproom is a welcoming space where community support has been instrumental in their journey, from crowdfunding efforts to generous sponsorships.
The brewery is operated by Brighter Horizons, a local charity dedicated to supporting neurodivergent adults and those with learning disabilities. With a flagship center based in Downham, they provide access to a variety of activities that promote health, well-being, and independence. Ignition Brewery not only serves great beer but also fosters a sense of community and purpose, making it a special place to visit and support.
