Can you provide tea and coffee?

Description

Fa'side Community Kitchen tackles social isolation by providing opportunities for people to meet and make friends. We are asking for a donation of tea and coffee or vouchers to purchase these items.

In the autumn of last year, we increased our opening times to provide more opportunities for people to socialise. It was also a way of providing a warm space as most of our customers are on low and fixed incomes. We serve tea, coffee, and a snack. Customers tell us that meeting up in a cafe isn't affordable or that they don't have someone to share that with. The popularity of these sessions means that the cost of providing tea and coffee is increasing.

More about us:

The Community Kitchen came into its own during the pandemic. While delivering food, team members realised that many people were isolated and lonely, and there was a real need to create opportunities for people to socialise and talk to others.

We have people with learning difficulties attending, and this provides a great opportunity for their carers to get a hot meal, a chance to socialise and a break. We have other people who are struggling with drug and alcohol issues. Our service has become a lifeline for many people in our area.

We run on very limited funds, and this help with tea and coffee would be a fantastic support to us and the community we serve.
