The first Community Café of the year will be in Church on Saturday 17th January 2026 from 10.30am-noon hosted by Megan, Katie and Samson. Needing to catch up with family, friends, a neighbour, fellow churchgoer you haven’t seen this new year? Why not invite someone and use the space to connect with others over a free cuppa and a nice slice of cake. Or just come solo – your co-hosts would be delighted to have you join us and have the opportunity to chat!

Many thanks to those who’ve completed the new Community Café in 2026 form – Community Café wouldn’t be possible without the brilliant folks supporting it. As ever, it would be great to expand our team! The 2026 plan currently has gaps so we could do with additional folks for each of the three roles (Bakers, Co-Hosts, Set Back Uppers) – please read the Community Café job descriptions and contact Katie if you wish to discuss.

Other 2026 Community Café dates include: Saturday 21 February (second weekend of half term but ballet are in), Saturday 21 March, Saturday 18 April (kids will be back at school after Easter holidays), Saturday 16 May (hopefully will be a special celebration to mark Community Café turning 10!), Saturday 20 June, none as usual in July or August as summer, Saturday 19 September, Saturday 17 October, then Saturday 21 November (to fit in with the annual Tearfund Quiz), and not in December as that’s such a busy month.
