Building on the tremendous success of our community Connecting Caf\u00e9 at St Andrews Church, we have decided to expand this fantastic provision into another location in the centre of town.

It will follow the same style of our current popular set up at St Andrews Church. offering\u00a0hot meal choices along with sandwiches and simple snacks. Our\u00a0Eat;\u00a0Share;\u00a0Donate<\/strong>! model will also continue, so\u00a0you can buy a meal, but you can also donate a meal too!\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>
\nWe want the Connecting\u00a0Caf\u00e9 to be a place where people feel welcome to\u00a0enjoy a meal together and meet new people in their community.<\/p>\n
