Our Drop-in café is much more than a café. It is a safe and welcoming place to meet others, and find help if you need it.
Our fabulous volunteers are there to welcome visitors, spend time with you and if needed act as a sign post to where help can be found.

We have a variety of roles available as part of our new drop in café from sitting and chatting to those who pop in to serving drinks and cakes.
Plus, if you aren’t available during the day but you would still like to be involved, we have opportunities for budding Bake-Off stars as one of our cake makers or become one of our important tea towel and apron washers.
From one hour a month to 4 hours a week, every hour will really make a difference!
