Cake Café has been running for over 10 years now offering affordable freshly baked cakes and hot beverages to our Community.  But it also offers so much more than that…..It is a safe, warm and welcoming space for those of all ages to meet friends, make new ones and just enjoy a sense of community.

In one corner we have the scrabble table where our volunteer bookkeeper Dottie (99 years young) and her friends play a cut throat game of scrabble every week.

Tony and his tech repair skills join us weekly – got a problem with your tablet or phone? He’s your man!

Crafty Crew join us from 10-12 and have a reserved table for their crafting activities – stop and see what they are doing, have a chat or join them – they are always welcoming to experienced crafters or those that just want to ‘have a go’.

We are regularly joined by outside organisations offering help and advice to our users – Age Concern UK and Vale Community Impact being just a couple of those that pop in to answer questions and give support to those that need it.  This is a valuable resource easily accessible to all and has been of great benefit to many.  The cake is so popular it regularly draws in our local friendly constabulary who always stop for a snack and a chat with our users.

Our Cafe is run by a wonderful team of friendly volunteers who are always happy to stop and have a chat.  If you would like to get involved and give a couple of hours a week to helping run this wonderful project please complete our ‘volunteer’ form and a member of the team will be in touch.
