Although Cuppa is a just small business, we get called a community cafe quite a lot.
We offer free food and drink to anyone who needs it, we have free toiletries available, a free food pantry outside and there's always someone around to help or listen, whether it's Sarah, Lou or volunteers or customers.
We try and organise something every Christmas to help anyone who is alone or struggling financially; we've hosted three full Christmas dinners on Christmas day but last year we organised and distributed hampers and money.
We also run events every so often in aid of different, usually local, charities and organisations.
We hold workshops and groups in the shop such as Art in the Afternoon, Collage Club, a book group, philosophy group, spoken word events, women's football, free bike maintenance every month and loads of other things.
If you would like to help us keep providing free food, drinks and toiletries for the community you can:
