More about our impact

More about our impact

The environment

The environment

We aspire to be zero waste, we will not tolerate single use plastics, and all of our takeaway containers and coffee cups are fully compostable. We recycle our food waste, it's all taken away to be composted rather than sent to landfill

The local economy

The local economy

During the pandemic, the focal point of the cafe as a community hub has become more evident as local people have supported us both with their custom and kindness on the limited time that we have been able to be open.

Volunteering, jobs & education

Volunteering, jobs & education

Arts, culture & heritage
