For parents with young children, Stepping Stones provides a big space for the kids to run around and play, while Harriet and a group of mums are there for support. Come along to make friends and have fun, on Fridays, 10am - 12 noon.

“I’M THE Café Co-ordinator. I find it such a joy working in a lovely peaceful environment with great volunteers. We have many regular customers who come into the cafe to enjoy a delicious meal in a relaxed atmosphere.

“Some of the customers give us great feedback, saying: ‘It is like heaven coming here,’ and ‘The service is very friendly’. It’s encouraging to hear, as this is our aim, to create a place that is friendly and relaxed. We also want it to be a place people can come, make friends and have a chat to someone if they would like to.

“We have regular groups that take place in the café – a knitting group and a craft group. These are great as...
