We are one step away and this final step changes everything to open the doors to An Inclusive Community Café
URGENT: £30,000 Needed to Open Our Inclusive Community Café
We are just £30,000 away from opening a fully accessible, inclusive community café — a place where people can eat with dignity, gain skills, access employment, and feel they belong.
The building is almost finished.
The community is ready.
Without this final funding, the doors cannot open.
“This café exists because people are struggling — and they deserve better.”
Every day, we see the reality behind the need:
• Families skipping meals
• Disabled and autistic adults locked out of work
• Young people desperate for opportunity
• People isolated, anxious, and unseen
This café is our response.
Once open, it will provide.
: • Low-cost and Pay It Forward meals so no one goes hungry
• Training and supported employment for people facing barriers to work
• A fully accessible space where disabled people can enter, move, and work with dignity
• A safe, welcoming place for connection and wellbeing
“Inclusion must be built it does not happen by chance.”
The £30,000 we are urgently raising will complete: • Essential accessibility adaptations
• Final building and kitchen works
• Inclusive layouts that remove physical barriers
Without these works: • The café cannot open
• Jobs, training, and meals cannot happen
This is the final hurdle.
“This is not a new project — it is a nearly finished one.”
Thanks to community belief and determination, we have already raised most of the funding. This appeal is about finishing something vital, not starting from scratch.
£30,000 is the difference between: • A locked door and warm meals
• Another rejection and a first job
• Isolation and belonging
Every donation matters.
A Call to Local Businesses: Build Social Value Together
We are inviting 15 local businesses to help us cross the finish line.
If 15 businesses donate £2,000, together you will: • Enable the café to open
• Create inclusive jobs and training opportunities
• Support food security through low-cost and Pay It Forward meals
As a thank you, each business will receive: • A pride place on our Community Thank You Board inside the café
• Recognition as a Founding Supporter of an inclusive community space
• A visible, meaningful contribution to local social value
Collaboration builds stronger, more inclusive communities.
“If you can help, now is the moment.”
If you are an individual, please donate or share this appeal.
If you are a business, this is a chance to leave a lasting local legacy.
You are not just helping us open a café.
You are helping people eat with dignity.
Helping people access opportunity.
Helping build a community where everyone belongs.
Thank you for standing with us.
