Pay what you can cafe
We have seized any opportunity for our café to be a safe haven and have been awarded 5 star hygiene rating from Tameside Council, it is a dementia friendly space, part of the chatty café scheme and is baby welcome / breastfeeding friendly. We are also recognised as a safe space by the local authority where people can come and seek solace, receive advice and report hate crimes. Working with local businesses to eliminate food waste means we are able to have free produce (bread, veg and fruit etc) to give away daily. This tackles poverty in a non-threatening way and acts as a draw to attract people into the centre for more support. We also work with small independent businesses such as bakers and curry houses – we encourage them to donate food and in return they get free publicity so we are supporting the local economy in encouraging purchases from independent businesses. We are based in Ashton-under-Lyne.
