☕ We are launching the Hour Place Community Café ❤️

🎈We’re delighted to be opening the doors to a brand new Community Café from Monday 27 July.

Open every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10am–1pm, the café is a welcoming place to enjoy homemade cakes, savoury treats, hot drinks and, most importantly, good company.

Whether you’re meeting friends or simply fancy somewhere friendly to spend an hour, everyone is welcome.

From Friday 31 July and throughout the summer holidays, we’re also running a FREE Friday Craft Café, with a different craft activity each week for children to enjoy with a parent or carer while the café is open.

📍 Hour Place, IP13 9LE
💚 Every purchase helps support the work of Hour Community and the services we provide across our local community.

No booking needed – just pop in. We can’t wait to welcome you.

✅ What a year it’s been for Hour Community 🫶

As we reflect on the past 12 months, we’re incredibly proud of the support we’ve been able to offer local community members — and deeply grateful to everyone who has walked alongside us to make it happen.

Thanks to the generosity and encouragement of our supporters, volunteers, funders and partners, awareness of who we are and what we do has continued to grow.

One of the biggest milestones of the year is that we’re thrilled to announce the renovation of Hour Place is nearly complete. Through generous donations and grant funding, this vision has become a reality, and from 2nd January the charity will officially be based in its new home on Fairfield Road 🏠✨

We’re looking ahead with real excitement to opening the doors of Hour Place to the public in early February, but in the meantime, if you’d like to come and see us, please do — we’d love to welcome you in and give you a glimpse of what will soon be the town’s new Health and Wellbeing Hub.

If you’d still like to support us by helping with the final finishing touches, donations can be made via our JustGiving page https://www.justgiving.com/charity/hourcommunity — every contribution truly makes a difference.

Here’s to an amazing year behind us, and an even more exciting one ahead 💙

We celebrated another wonderful Christmas Lunch at the Crown Hotel this year. A huge thank you to all the amazing staff at the Crown, Clarke and Simpson for their generous presents, Roger Tripp for the bar drinks and the Crown's wine merchant for the wine! And not forgetting all of our super volunteers who gave up their Christmas Day to help. A great time was had by all and we hugely appreciate all the support the event receives every year.

✨ Merry Christmas from all of us at Hour Community 🎄

It’s been a truly fabulous year – with even more to share in posts coming soon. Hour Place is so close to opening its doors, and throughout the year we’ve continued to support our community in so many different ways. Awareness of who we are and what we do is growing, and none of this would be possible without the incredible time, energy and generosity of our volunteers and donors.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Wishing you a warm, peaceful Christmas and a hopeful New Year 💛
