Getting involved…

Our community café has always been more than just a place to grab a cup of tea. It’s a warm, welcoming space where people of all ages come together to connect, share stories, learn new skills, and feel part of something bigger.

Now, we’re taking the next big step: renovating our kitchen so we can serve more people, and host activities that bring our community even closer. To make this happen, we need your help.

Take a look at our fundraising page for more information on how you can support this project.

Renovation Fundraising Update 🛠️

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported our renovation project so far. Thanks to your generosity, we’ve raised over £12,000 in donations — we’re incredibly grateful for every contribution 💛

At this stage, we still need to secure additional external funding before any renovation work can begin. Until that funding is in place, the café will remain open as normal, and there will be no changes to our day-to-day opening or activities.

Your support has already made a big difference, and we truly appreciate everyone who has donated, shared, or encouraged us along the way. We’ll keep you updated as soon as we have more news.

Thank you for being part of our community ☕✨
