We’re proud to see members of our community featured on the big screen 💚⚽

This Sunday, Hert of the Town premieres at BEAM Hertford - a documentary following Hertford Town FC over the course of a season and celebrating the people who make the club such an important part of our local community.

We’re especially proud that Chris and Ben, who take part in Mudlarks’ inclusive football sessions, are featured in the film. It’s fantastic to see opportunities like this shining a light on inclusion, connection, and the role sport can play in bringing people together.

If you’re looking for something a little different this Father’s Day weekend, this looks like a brilliant watch.

We are very sad and disappointed by the recent vandalism at our Forest School.

Over the past few weeks, our site has been broken into multiple times, causing significant damage to equipment, learning spaces and projects created by the people who attend our programmes.

Forest School is a vital part of Mudlarks.

It provides a safe, calm environment where people with learning disabilities and mental health concerns can build confidence, develop practical skills and be part of a supportive community.

We are determined to repair the damage and keep this space thriving.

Right now, we need our community behind us. Please support us by doing the following.

📢 Please share this post to help raise awareness.

💚 Please consider supporting our Forest School fundraising campaign. Donations will now also help us replace damaged equipment and improve security.

Together, we can protect this space for the people who rely on it.

Sometimes the most important things aren’t the easiest things to notice.

Behind every coffee, every salad, and every slice of cake at Mudlarks, something bigger is happening.

Skills are being built.
Confidence is growing.
Friendships are forming.
Community is thriving.

What you see on the plate is only part of the story.

The lunch is just the easiest thing to see. 💚

1. Beans.
2. Ground.
3. Tamped.
4. Brewed.

The satisfying part is watching the coffee appear.

The important part happens long before that.

At Mudlarks, every cup is made using Sustain Coffee, an independent Hertfordshire coffee roaster that is passionate about sourcing coffee responsibly and roasting exceptional beans.

Great coffee doesn't happen by accident. It starts with quality beans, skilled roasting, and people who care about doing things the right way.

If you've enjoyed a coffee in our café and wished you could recreate it at home, you can! We stock Sustain coffee in our Community Shop, available as whole beans or ready ground.

So whether you're stopping by for a flat white, meeting a friend over coffee, or topping up your home coffee stash, we've got you covered ☕
