Overview:
The aim of the café is to provide a relaxed and informal meeting place for all types of people in our community and further afield.
A place where they feel safe and welcomed and can enjoy a low-cost nutritious hot snack. It is therefore vital to the success of the café that the volunteers that run it understand that it is not solely a meal service, but is a source of support and recreation for the people who use the cafe and that a patient and cheerful disposition is essential!
