Wonston Community Café

We had a constant stream of visitors, both new and regulars, at the café on 19th October – so many that we had to utilise the pub car park! This month we had visits from perhaps our oldest and youngest guests, 99½ year old Iola pictured with Ayla, the 2½ week old granddaughter of Iola’s yoga instructor Marion Symes! We also had three generations from the same family enjoying cake and coffee in the hall. Sadly, the weather was not good enough this time for outdoor seating. Thanks to this great attendance, and some very generous donations, the October community café raised £500 for Blood Cancer UK. This is a fantastic sum that will make an enormous difference to the charity. We will be open again at the Victoria Hall, Sutton Scotney, on Wednesday 14th December 9.30am – 12 noon (last orders 11.45am) – please note this is a change of date for December only. This month the café will be raising funds for Myeloma UK. Your donation helps us make sure no-one has to face myeloma alone. We give patients and their families all the information, help and support they need, exactly when they need it. We’re also one of the leading funders of myeloma research in the UK, and we have an ongoing commitment to investing in ground-breaking research. Regular donations are a vital source of income and help us build a better future for everyone affected by myeloma.

Please do come along to support the community café, which is staffed entirely by volunteers. All the cakes are homemade, we have real coffee and plenty of free parking!
