Based in the Jan Cutting Healthy Living Centre, our community café is the heart of our Hub. The venue provides a friendly and welcoming atmosphere which helps us to promote ‘community’ and the importance of coming together. The cost-of-living crisis has impacted our community hard, and the café has played an important role in providing a safe, warm space with affordable, nutritious options.
Our Cafe manager, Nicki, encourages anyone who feels lonely or worried about rising bills to visit our café. With the cost of living continuing to rise, it's very important that we can offer people within our community a safe environment with heating and refreshments and the opportunity to find out more about the broader services and activities in the Centre which are available for further support.
Our Café continues to serve as its own a hub for health initiatives and wellness programs. By providing a welcoming and accessible space, the café can foster healthy lifestyles, promote community engagement, and address local health disparities. For example, during the year we launched Food is Fun’ free cooking sessions with all sessions fully booked with waiting lists! These sessions were focusing on cooking on a budget and participants ate what they prepared and took a meal home with them too. We had referrals from PATH, Trevi, local schools as well as local community members attending these sessions.
The Café continues to provide valuable employment, training, and opportunities for volunteers to gain experience in food preparation, customer service and cash handling.
In 2024 we have welcomed new colleagues, Maxine, Clarie and Emma to our catering team and celebrated a 5-star food hygiene rating!
