Welcome

Please be aware that the Café is a community project organised and run by volunteers. 

We now have a Facebook page!

 

 

THE LINK CAFE IS A COLLECTION POINT FOR THIS APPEAL.

PLEASE BRING YOUR UNWRAPPED GIFT TO THE CAFE DURING OPENING TIMES BEFORE 15TH DECEMBER.

GIVE IT  TO A MEMBER OF STAFF, WHO WILL PLACE IT IN THE BOX PROVIDED BY THE CHARITY, READY FOR COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION. THANK YOU. 

Our current opening times are

Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays 10.30am to 3.30pm (excluding Bank Holidays and Public Holidays)

and on Tuesdays, we open as usual at 10.30am, but close at 1pm.

Sorry, no cooked meal orders can be taken after 12 noon on Tuesdays. We hope this will be a temporary measure. We have been forced to make this change until we have built a replacement team of volunteers for Tuesday afternoons. 

If you have a few hours to spare and would like to consider joining our band of loyal volunteers to work in the café (on any day, not just Tuesdays) or to support us by doing home baking or laundry please contact us here.

Our current menu is here.

          

While the Café was closed due to COVID19 restrictions a bench was installed outside in memory of Jim, one of our regular customers. He visited the café most days until he died in 2019. Thanks are due to Jim’s family and others who contributed to the cost of installing this bench. It is there for the community to use.

If you have visited, and like us, why not join us?   Contact us here.

All those who work in The Link Café are volunteers (this is one of our teams)

For over 30 years we have built our good reputation on providing home cooked food as well as a listening ear and a Christian welcome to all. For this to continue we always need more people to join our bank of volunteers!

We particularly need adults to work in the café on Saturdays. The minimum commitment could be just once in four weeks although you could volunteer more frequently. Please contact us if you are interested. 

As well as volunteers to work in the kitchen and café we always need people to do home baking and laundry.  If you, or anyone you know, would like help, please contact us here  for more information.

A new booklet has been compiled containing recipes provided by our volunteers. It is available in the Café and the price is £2.50. Please see more details here.

Thank you.

Listening and Healing: Sadly this group is no longer able to offer its monthly ‘approach on the street’ but The Link Café still provides a place where informal chat with staff and other customers is possible during its opening hours – Monday to Friday.
