Who we are

HomeGround is an independent cafe proudly serving exceptional coffee and wholesome, home‑cooked food in the heart of Central Milton Keynes.

Nestled in the heart of the city centre on North Sixth Street, HomeGround works hand‑in‑hand with YMCA staff and residents to create more than just great meals. Every cup and every plate helps fuel meaningful change.

More than just a cafe…

HomeGround gives YMCA residents an opportunity to work, learn new skills and gain full independence.

By choosing to spend with us, you’re also helping fund the charitable activities of YMCA South Midlands. Every coffee, breakfast or lunch directly supports essential services for young people in our community — from mental health guidance and wellbeing support to accessible health and fitness programmes. Your morning coffee doesn’t just taste good; it makes a real difference in helping young people build brighter futures.

Our ethos

Our ethos is independence and we champion this through our coffee, menu and the opportunities we offer the young people who work with us.
