CFHS is holding three more community café learning visits, on 4, 12 and 19 October. The three community cafes hosting the visits – the Annexe Café, Windmills Café and Fly Cup Catering – have been running successfully for several years. The aim of the visit is to provide opportunities for café staff, volunteers and managers meet other café practitioners, and share ideas and good practice.
Places on all the visits are available for anyone involved in running or setting up a community café (staff, volunteers, managers or board/management committee members) or those who support people with learning disabilities and plan to develop food activities as part of their work (particularly the visits to Windmills Cafe and Fly Cup Catering).
