The birthday celebrations are in full swing here at Teens Unite, as we mark one year since opening The Jailbreak Café and Sample Shop.
We cut the ribbon on 8th November 2021; following months of hard work transforming The Old Hoddesdon Police Station, which had sat derelict for years, into a unique shopping and dining venture.
The former custody suite and cells are now home to The Jailbreak Café and Sample Shop; where all proceeds are donated to Teens Unite, helping us to support more teenagers and young adults who are overcoming cancer and the challenges it brings.
The Jaibreak Café serves hot drinks including Lavazza coffee, paninis, sandwiches, and afternoon teas.
The Jailbreak Sample Shop sells brand new childrenswear, womenswear and menswear, accessories, and homeware from high street retailers at discounted prices.
Within The Old Hoddesdon Police Station are meeting and function spaces available to hire – from former briefing rooms, to interview rooms and the original cells. If you are looking for the ideal space to hold an offsite meeting or a venue for your community group to meet, please contact us to discuss your needs and requirements.
Every cup of coffee and every item sold at The Jailbreak Café and Sample Shop really does makes a difference. Since opening last year, customers have generated more than £60,000 for Teens Unite.
We would like to thank everyone that has supported The Jailbreak Café and Sample Shop over the past year. We love being in the heart of the community and being able to offer a unique space where people can come together for the good of others.
The Jailbreak Café and Sample Shop is run by a team of volunteers who generously give their time each week and our extra special thanks go to this very special group of individuals - we couldn't do it without you!

Detailed below are our events for Teens, Volunteers, Fundraising and Challenges.
Volunteering with Teens Unite has changed my personality and outlook on life. When I hear all the amazing things the teens say about Teens Unite, I can tell they mean every word.
Teens Unite isn't just a charity to me, it was the beginning of restarting my life.
When Elliot started receiving the support of Teens Unite, I could see a change in him straightaway. His outlook on life was becoming positive again and I gained strength from seeing my little boy accepting what had happened and starting to move forward.
I needed help and that's where Teens Unite came in. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and the reason I met Teens Unite was to save my life.
With Teens Unite, I finally realised that I could climb out of this massive hole that I had been digging because I wasn't alone anymore.
If it wasn't for Teens Unite, I wouldn't be where I am now. They have been really supportive and given me the strength to push myself and not give up.
