Located in Oxford, Turl Street Kitchen is one of those hybrid bar/resto/café spots with a focus on independent retailers and ethical and locally sourced food. Its elegant but low-key ambiance and daily-changing menu don't exactly fit with its distinct mission: to support the charity Oxford Hub, which works to create spaces where students can kickstart their causes.
"Two years ago someone at the Oxford Hub, a charity which works with Oxford students to transform student social action, let their imagination run a little bit wild and thought about the possibility of running a small cafe to raise some money for the charity," write Turl Street on its website.
Turl Street Kitchen and Oxford Hub are transforming the way society considers supposed "do-good" initiatives, as well as collaborations that can create long-term sustainability.
