A warm welcome for everyone in our community

Looking for a warm space near you? The Cosy Cafe is a friendly, volunteer-run community hub that opens its doors twice a week to offer warmth, company and conversation. It's a place where everyone is welcome, especially anyone who may feel isolated and would like to connect with others over a cup of tea. 

The cafe is run entirely by local volunteers who create a relaxed, supportive atmosphere for visitors of all ages.
