What the charity does

We run a coffee shop that is a focal point for this rural community. For some Elderly people it is a second home, but all ages make use of our facilities. We have toys available for the very young. Village clubs and organisations use our facilites to advertise what they do. The shop is also used as a collection point for our charitable giving.
