"Training at the café has been amazing so far. It has taught me so many skills and it’s something that I can really look forward to each day. The accessible design of the kitchen also means I am able to navigate around in my wheelchair, which makes me feel great!" - Scott (Enham Trust Café Volunteer)

Why is the Café so important?

Apart from the coffee, yummy cakes and lunches available each day to clients, staff, volunteers and our residents, it provides numerous benefits to our community. It is a much-needed social space for people who access our services, reducing isolation. There are also a range of laptops, tablets and wi-fi available to use enabling people to connect to friends and family further afield and build IT skills.
