our cause.

Eating with us doesn’t just guarantee great food and a great atmosphere but you are also supporting a great cause!

Betel is a Christian charity which offers free life-transforming help to people with drug and alcohol addictions. Our peer-led residential communities are based on a commitment to long-term change, brought about through the restoration of individuals to healthy, productive lifestyles. We aim to achieve this by providing structured and supportive community living, and by instilling discipline, values and skills through therapeutic work in a variety of charitable businesses.

Since opening Birmingham in 1996, Betel has established centers across several major UK cities and cared for thousands of people, the majority of whom were previously homeless or exiting prison. Receiving no government funding, the charity meets its costs largely through businesses operated by the residents themselves – businesses such as Rising Café.

 Every penny earned at the café goes directly towards helping restore once-broken lives, like your servers and chefs!

  • “All my life I believed I would never amount to anything. I thought I would always be a failure and that fear would always have a grip on me. But Jesus delivered me from my fears. He turned my fear into faith. I want to follow Him for the rest of my life.”

  • “I am finally...no longer afraid of the darkness. I am walking in the light as a child of God. I thank God for creating me and keeping me, when I felt no worth.”

  • I feel blessed that my new life speaks hope into lives. It’s the most exciting, challenging journey I’ve been on and my life never gets dull. There is freedom, redemption, love, peace and forgiveness in Jesus Christ.
