We are happy to announce that The Old School Cafe is now open!
The Old School Cafe is a mental wellbeing community hub based in St Margaret’s Centre, offering:
A Social Community Hub: everyone needs someone to talk to once in a while, and at St Margaret’s Centre we see the benefit of a simple chat every single day. A friendly face can make the difference between a good day and a bad one, so we have launched the cafe as a place for people to go for a warm welcome and conversation. We even supply some board games, so you don’t have to ‘Scrabble’ for something to talk about!
Volunteering and Training: a variety of opportunities for people to participate in volunteering and work experience, with training delivered at each individual’s pace and with consideration for their abilities, learning needs, and mental health. We are always looking for people to get involved, and seek to match up people who need a bit of extra support, with those who are able to provide it as mentors. If you’d like to find more, please contact us and Nicola, our Volunteer Coordinator, will be in touch.
Affordable Food Options and a Pay It Forward option: the cost of living crisis is impacting many people, and we aim to provide a menu of delicious but affordable food and drink options. You can view our menu below.
The Old School Cafe will initially open Monday to Friday, 9.30am – 2pm. We hope to expand these hours as our roster of volunteers grows.
All are welcome, and we hope to see you there!
