The Jailbreak Cafe and Shop

Have you visited The Jailbreak Shop and Cafe?

Based in The Old Hoddesdon Police Station in Hertfordshire; the former custody suite and cells have been transformed into a unique shopping and dining experience!

The Jailbreak retail outlet is selling brand new items of clothing, accessories, cosmetics and homeware, along with a selection of great quality books.

The Jailbreak Cafe is located in the depths of the police station; with the original check-in desk now the serving counter, the detention cage now a heated outside seating area, and the jail cells now individual hubs to enjoy the selection of hot drinks, cakes, pastries, and lunch items on offer.

If you would like to enquire about hiring the space for a private functiion, please email info@teensunite.org or call 01992 440091.

There is no need to make a booking with us, unless you would like to visit for Afternoon Tea.

We look forward to seeing you!

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.

“ Nathan, 23, Volunteer

“

Teens Unite isn't just a charity to me, it was the beginning of restarting my life.

“ Jess, 22, Teen, Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

“

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.

“ David, Parent to Elliot, 18, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma

“

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.

“ Harry, 20, Teen, Testicular Cancer

“

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.

“ Leanne, 21, Teen, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia

“

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.

“ Derry, 20, Teen, Brain Tumour
