Tackling Poverty and Social Isolation

The funding will support the continuation of the support Café. In 2022-23 we have managed to support an average of 45 service users at the café. The café largely supports individuals and families including the elderly that are struggling with social isolation or poverty. The Café provides a free lunch and also referral support through partner organisation, befriending and games and activities for service users to socialise. The Café runs with a Kitchen co-ordinator, befriending/support organisation staff member and 4 volunteers. The grant funding helps with staff wages and food ingredients to make the lunches. The Café runs weekly every Tuesday from 11am-1pm with time allocated before and after to prepare the food and clear up the kitchen after. The second staff member co-ordinates with partner organisations, follows up referrals, plans holiday programmes and activities for adults and young people.
