About Us

Welcome to Start Point coffee shop and Starting Point Community Learning Partnership, where creativity meets passion, meets coffee and great ideas come to life!

Here’s a peek into what makes us tick:

Who We Are:

Our Story:

Start Point coffee shop and Starting Point Community Learning Partnership started as a small idea (think late-night brainstorming sessions and way too many cups of tea – because we didn’t drink coffee way back in 2009). What began as a simple passion project has blossomed into a company that serves the community or Woodley and people throughout Greater Manchester every day. But don’t worry—we haven’t lost our spark! We’re still fuelled by excitement, a whole lot of creativity and our more recent love of coffee.

What We Do:

We create products and services that nourish people in our coffee shop or help people to lead better lives through informal community based learning. Whether you’re looking for a latte or learning, we’ve got your back. We take pride in offering top-notch quality and outstanding customer service—because people deserve nothing less.

Our Values:

  • Innovation: We love thinking outside the box and bringing new ideas to life.
  • Passion: We pour our hearts into everything we do—because we believe in what we’re building.
  • Fun: Life’s too short to take too seriously. We infuse a little humor and joy into every project.
  • Community: We’re not just a business; we’re a family, and we believe in supporting each other.

So, whether you’re here to find your next favourite product, get inspired, or just say “hello,” we’re thrilled to have you join the Start(ing) Point family!
