Charleston Cosy Cafe

We are seeking funding to support the weekly Charleston Cosy Cafe, a free weekly community cafe 11am-12.30pm providing food, refreshments, social connection and access to support for people living in Charleston and the wider Lochee Ward. The cafe benefits 40+ people every week, with all food and refreshments provided completely free of charge. Each week we offer homemade soup, sandwiches, toasties, hot main meals and cake & custard, along with tea, coffee and refreshments. By keeping the cafe free, we remove financial barriers and ensure that everyone can attend regardless of their circumstances, which is particularly important for individuals and families affected by the rising cost of living. The funding will contribute towards the cost of providing a weekly free cafe and will also allow us to hold a free Christmas Meal for the community providing a Christmas 3 course meal and a small gift. This will give local people an opportunity to come together and celebrate, particularly benefiting those who may experience financial hardship, loneliness or social isolation over the festive period.
