Inspire Café

locally sourced, homemade meals

A cherished community venture managed by the Strand Community Trust.

Aside from our talented Chef, Paul Lentle, our café is operated entirely by volunteers, who take immense pride in offering healthy, homemade food, Fair Trade tea and coffee, and freshly baked cakes, all at affordable prices within a warm, inclusive and welcoming environment.

The café is a proud supporter of the Suspended Coffee programme, allowing patrons to contribute to a fund that provides free hot drinks to those facing financial difficulties.

Furthermore, the Inspire Café:

  • Provides wholesome meals and hot drinks for the homeless and residents in financial need.
  • Offers a ‘Meals at Home’ service which ensures that local individuals who are unable to leave their homes receive the nourishment they need.
  • Manages a food bank, which distributes weekly hampers, valued at approx. £45 each.   *This important service is made possible through the generosity of our community and the support of the Exeter Food Depot.

 

no more lonely christmases.

Each year up to 90 local residents living on their own are invited to a 2 course Christmas Day lunch; Turkey with all the trimmings and traditional Christmas Pudding with cream. 

 Santa even makes a visit – he always has gifts for everyone. In addition bags of goodies will be provided for families where we know children are not likely to get much at Christmas

From Boxing Day to New Year’s Day, individuals feeling lonely during this period are welcome to join us at The Strand Centre for warmth and companionship. We offer free breakfast and lunch to support families struggling financially after Christmas, ensuring children have access to hot meals and activities that keep them engaged rather than restless at home.

Our planned activities draw from our experience with Family Time, providing a welcoming environment for al
