First, we’re a great café – so fresh coffee, delicious cakes and lunches, all with a special welcome– but we’ve all sorts of activities going on… We’re a ‘warm space’, there’s a‘chatty table’, story time and crafts for pre-schoolers, sign language, you name it. The idea is that while it is a friendly, safe, accessible place to meet, for anyone searching we hope you’ll also find relationship, connection and community.

Among our team are willing and approachable trusted adults who build positive, supportive relationships with community members. This light touch approach is appreciated by a wide range of people including those seeking support with mental health,who are lonely or isolated, or who have social needs which affect their well-being. Here, we can provide signposting to help connect people to community groups and statutory services.

We parents love our children and want the best for them but sometimes being a parent or carer can be really hard.

With experienced parenting practitioners, parent coaches and group facilitators, we listen and understand the difficulties you face whatever the needs, background and circumstances of your children. And we work with you to help grow those healthy attachments so that you can work through life’s challenges together.

Parent-Child Attachment Play (PCAP) is an innovative and empowering early help programme for parents and their children from 3 years. (For younger children we have the linked ‘Baby Bonding’ programme.) It’s a gentle play-based approach aimed at improving the attachment quality of the parent-child relationship. We deliver the programme with groups, 1:1 or through a home visiting model.

Building positive relationships with local schools and settings to promote and assist young people’s inclusion within the education system. We offer mentoring and emotional support to young people and whole families who are experiencing adversity, providing them a safe place to discuss fears, worries, behaviours and to explore how to navigate life’s challenges.
