Our community cafe is open every week day and we offer FREE breakfast, lunch and drinks and this is open to anyone!! Today we were treated to home made curry, cooked by one of our lovely volunteers. Photos show one of our very regular volunteers enjoying his lunch with us.

In our HARP lesson this week we had Chris Kendall, Community Lifestyle Coach from the Be Active, Be Healthy Team, who gave us a very informative session on diabetes.

Our Social Supermarket was very busy again today and we are very grateful to the staff from @CadentGasLtd for their support. They not only helped set the supermarket up, helped with deliveries and packing bags but they stayed all afternoon and helped our clients shop.

Volunteer Fair at Foleshill Community Centre was amazing! Lots of activities, food and even more people offering their time to amazing organisations. Thank you to Voluntary Action Coventry for organising an amazing event and letting us be apart of it, can't wait for the next one.

The Coventry & Warwickshire Sexual Health Hub will go live on 1 April 2024
