☕ ONE CUP OF COFFEE. SO MANY POSSIBILITIES. 💚

There's something special about bringing people together over coffee.

A conversation. A new friendship. A celebration. A sense of belonging.

At The Sycamore Centre, our Snug Coffee Shop is so much more than somewhere to grab your favourite signature blend.

It's part of a community where connections are made, volunteers find opportunities, people feel welcome and everyone has a place.

💚 Looking for somewhere to celebrate, meet or get together?

Our spaces are available to hire for:

🎈 Birthday celebrations
🍼 Baby showers
💚 Celebrations of life
🎨 Clubs, crafts and community groups
☕ Coffee mornings and social gatherings
🤝 Meetings and special occasions

Whether you're planning something special or simply looking for a welcoming space to bring people together, we'd love to help.

And here's what makes Sycamore different...

Every coffee you buy, every visit you make and every space you book helps support the work of Community Volunteers Wales, your local grassroots charity.

Your support helps create volunteering opportunities, tackle isolation, support local people and build a stronger, more connected community.

So when you choose Sycamore, you're not just choosing a venue. You're choosing to make a difference. 💚

📍 The Sycamore Centre, Thistle Way, Ty Sign, Risca, NP11 6PL

☕ Great coffee. Meaningful connections. Stronger communities.

🌺 **CAN YOU HELP US CREATE SOMETHING SPECIAL?** 🌺

🧶 **Calling all crafters, knitters, crocheters, sewing groups and creative people!**

We're planning a **BIG POPPY TREE** at The Sycamore Centre, and we'd love our community to help bring it to life! ❤️

🌺 Made a poppy before? We'd love it!

🌺 Fancy making a few new ones? We'd love those too!

Our dream is to create a beautiful community poppy display that we can **treasure, reuse and add to year after year**, remembering those who gave so much.

❤️ Every poppy, big or small, will become part of something special.

📍 **The Sycamore Centre, Thistle Way, Ty Sign, Risca.**
