FISH & CHIPS, A SEAGULL ROBBERY, AND A WELL-EARNED SNOOZE...

​Our incredible volunteers had a grand day out in Eyemouth yesterday, and it’s all thanks to YOU! Every single penny you leave in our tip jar goes toward treating the team who keeps Café Recharge running, and boy, did we make the most of it!
🎳 We kicked things off with some fierce (but friendly) competition at the bowling alley.
🪙 We raided the amusements, dominated the 2p machines, and tested our skills on the claw grabber. High stakes drama ended in a massive victory when Amy successfully hooked a fuzzy pair on her first go ( a little too much screaming form a CEO 😂)
🐟 No Eyemouth rtip is complete without world-class fish and chips, from Giacopazzi's for a proper feast.
🍦We obviously had to find room for some of their legendary ice cream afterwards and it was all smiles until a local, highly-trained Eyemouth seagull swooped in out of nowhere and robbed Emily’s ice cream right out of her cone! (Thought Lindsay might do herself a mischief she was laughing so much)
😴 ​By the time we hit the road home, the food comas were real, the energy levels were at zero, and there were plenty of snoozes on the way back.
​To our amazing volunteers: thank you for everything you do. And to our lovely customers: thank you for tipping. You gave this hard-working crew a day of fun, full bellies, and hilarious memories! 🩵

We hate closing the cafe but sometimes needs must...
Come and see us this Saturday in the Volunteer Hall.
Next wednesday we're heading to Eyemouth to treat our hard working volunteers to bowling, fish and chips and maybe a few quid for the amusements if they behave.
The following Saturday after all the excitement staff are heading off for a well deserved day of annual leave!
Not decided about Gala Day openings yet but will keep you posted!

Last Friday saw Amy take Cafe ReCharge on the road. She managed to escape the windowless office and head out to Stow to work with the amazing Stow Disrupters teaching them why perfectly edible food ends up in landfill and how we can use some of it to create some delicious courgette and cheese muffins from our recent booklet.
It was a great afternoon full of interesting questions and conversations surrounding food waste. 💚
