Wonston Community Café

At the January café we were very lucky to be joined by 4 volunteers from our nominated charity SERV Wessex – the Blood Runners. Rob, John, Pip and Steve came to the café with their collection boxes, as well as their sponsored motorbike and car! After a slow start we had a very busy morning, with many visitors enjoying their coffee and cake in the warmth of the Victoria Hall.

£71.50 was collected by the SERV Wessex team, with a further £380 from sales of coffee and cake, and other donations, making a grand total of £451.50 from the café this morning.

The next Wonston Community Café will be at the Victoria Hall, Sutton Scotney, 9.30am - 12 noon on Wednesday 15th March. This month the café will be supporting local charity BOAZ, a therapeutic work environment. Our adults with learning difficulties can learn new skills such as working on the land, looking after the animals, baking, making craft goods, and wood working in the workshop in our barn on Hill Farm, just outside of Winchester. As well as the usual coffee and cakes offered by the cafe, Barbara, our local volunteer, will also be selling eggs, jams, and other goods made at BOAZ.

Please do come along to support the Wonston Community Café, which is staffed entirely by volunteers. All the cakes are homemade, we have real coffee and plenty of free parking! The café is cash only and we welcome all donations to the nominated charity.
