Chatty Café

Relax with a Cuppa

A Chatty Cafe is a lovely opportunity for you to come along to meet people in a relaxed, safe environment.

Chatty Cafés keep communities connected and bring people together … everyone is invited to our Chatty Cafe, held weekly at the Delacombe Community Hub.

If you’re on your own, in a couple, with a friend, or if you’re a carer why not come along and bring the person you care for, mums and babies, dads and babies, grandparents and babies, young people, older people and anyone in between! We are proud to be part of the Chatty Cafe Scheme.
