We think this is a brilliant idea.
The Chatty Cafe Scheme started up when Alex was in a cafe with her baby:
“I looked around and there was an elderly lady on her own looking fed up, on another table there was a young man with additional needs and who looked to be his carer. They were looking around the room not making any conversation. I began to think what a difference we could make to each other if we could have sat together and had a chat”
Simple. Just a chat, and you can change someone’s day.
We are looking for a Host or 2 to look after the Chat and Natter table at our events. You’ll set the table up and be the point of welcome to anyone who chooses to sit at the table, for about 2 hours, 4-6ish at our events. To thank you for creating this space we’ll offer you a drink or 2 from The Salty Arms. The Chatty Cafe Scheme offers training for volunteers and we’ll work together to get the word out that our events have this table. After all, we’re all about building community, and community starts with connection, 1 person at a time.
Keen? Drop me an email.
