It is with heavy hearts—and immense gratitude—that we announce the closing of our community cafe on 31st July 2026.
Two years ago, we opened our doors with a bold mission: to build the first venue of its kind in the North East, run by a passionate Deaf team and dedicated to helping Deaf individuals break into the world of business.
Together, we set out to break down barriers and build a genuine bridge between the Deaf and hearing communities. Looking back over the last two years, we are so proud of every connection made, every barrier broken, and every single conversation started over a cup of coffee.
We want to express our deepest thanks to:
Our incredible staff, whose hard work, talent, and passion made this space what it was.
Our loyal customers, for opening your hearts, embracing our mission, and making our cafe a warm, vibrant place to be.
Our interpreters and volunteers, whose tireless dedication made seamless communication and daily operations possible.
While this chapter is coming to an end, the impact of what we built together will last far beyond our doors. Thank you for being part of our journey and for proving what true community inclusion looks like.
With endless gratitude,
On behalf of The Board of Directors.
