Community Café
1 session available each week
Welcome to our Community Café!
Our Café, opened in 2021 and is run with the help of our amazing volunteers. It offers a warm, welcoming spot for community members of all ages to come together, chat, and enjoy a cuppa!
As well as coffee and biscuits, we also provide essential support through our Food Bank and Community Pantry, helping people facing food poverty.
Would you like to support our Food Bank? Donations of non-perishable food items are always welcome and go a long way in supporting those in need.
