Every Wednesday at Brighouse Market I run a free coffee and chat morning where anyone can come to my stall and use my seating area to have a free drink, biscuit or cake and meet like minded people.

There are many lonely people in our community so what I am trying to do is offer a space where they can come meet and chat to people and hopefully make friends and have a friendly welcome from me.

So far its been so heart warming to see people sat around talking, making friends, sharing stories and its already having a positive impact on our small community.

The coffee morning is totally inclusive and nobody ever gets turned away.

At the moment I am self funding this every week but I need some help as I can only do so much but want to do much more, funding is for the simple things like Cup, Coffee, Tea, Hot chocolate, Table cloths.

These simple things will help me help other people.

Thanks you for reading
