Skipton Community Wellbeing Cafe

05/02/2026

Here’s our cafe team out in Morrisons yesterday, letting people know what Skipton Wellbeing Cafe is about - free drinks and cakes etc, homemade soup, toasties and jacket potatoes (pay as you feel), art/craft with Pioneer Projects, games and jigsaws, surplus supermarket food to distribute…

But actually it’s more about connecting with others, relaxing, feeling safe and listened to, feeling there’s a place where you belong.

Its on every Thursday between 1pm and 3.30 at St Andrews Hall, Newmarket Street

Big shout out to Claire, Community Champion at Morrisons, for all her support.

Christmas at Skipton Community Wellbeing Cafe - complete with pie and peas, crazy nativity, bingo, background carols played on a flute, plus amazing fresh produce donations from Dechra and Ckass One. Thanks everyone!

Skipton Wellbeing Cafe is now officially a Warm Space (thanks Craven District Council) and listed on the Warm Welcome national database (alongside 3352 others!)

Admittedly, last week was more of a ‘tepid’ space (or ‘slightly-warmer-than-outside’ space) but we’ll try and do a bit better this week.

N.B. There may be a few Christmas snacks, some carols and a game of bingo this week - you never know!

Just realised we haven't updated our page for ages!

We are open every Thursday afternoon from 1pm to 3.30pm at St Andrew's Hall on Newmarket Street.

And everyone is welcome.

We provide a place that's warm, safe and friendly. There's free tea, coffee and cakes, plus a hot toastie or jacket potato for only £1.

Pioneer Projects provide a range of art and craft activities

We have board games, jigsaws, quiet space for 1 to 1 meetings and a pop-up pantry.

Please feel free to come down (maybe bring a friend) and see what its all about.
