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.

Check out our Tripadvisor reviews below.

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. 

SCT foodbank

We are dedicated to supporting the most vulnerable individuals and families in our community who are facing challenging times or are in financial need. Our mission is to fight hunger and provide hope to those who need it most.

What We Do

  • We distribute weekly hampers valued at approximately £45 each, ensuring that families have access to essential food items.
  • Our ‘Meals at Home’ service ensures that local individuals who are unable to leave their homes receive the nourishment they need.
  • We also provide wholesome meals and hot drinks for the homeless, offering warmth and sustenance.

Together, we can make a difference—because no one should go hungry.

A Joyful Christmas for All

Each year, we ensure that up to 100 local residents who live alone experience the warmth and joy of the festive season. Our No More Lonely Christmases initiative invites them to a delightful three-course Christmas Day lunch, featuring a starter, turkey with all the trimmings and traditional Christmas pudding with cream (or custard). A vegetarian option is also available to cater to all dietary preferences.

Santa himself makes a special visit, bringing gifts for everyone.

Additionally, we provide bags of goodies to families where we know children might not receive much at Christmas.

Festive Open House:

That time between Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve can be very lonely and financially stressful for some, so we open our doors and invite residents to join us at The Strand Centre 

What We Do

  • Offer individuals and families companionship in a safe and warm space.
  • Provide engaging activities that keep everyones spirits high.
  • We offer free breakfast and lunch to support families struggling financially after Christmas, ensuring children have access to hot meals.

Together, we can make the holiday season a time of joy and togetherness for everyone.
