Community in the Middle, our long-term project

Hug in a Mug Community Cafe

Our Hug in a Mug Community Café is a welcoming safe space for everyone

During the lockdowns people were very isolated, which impacted both physical and mental health.

This was the origin of our free café at St Teresa’s Church, bringing the community together.

Our aim is to combine the promotion of physical and mental wellbeing and encourage community spirit. We are actively tackling loneliness and promote social inclusion by the integration of generations over a brew and a chat.
