A little bit of nostalgia with your coffee? 🍫☕
One of our wonderful volunteers has been busy making delicious chocolate cornflake cakes for the Garden Café this week.

Perfect for a sweet treat alongside your favourite hot drink, and available while stocks last. Whether you're stopping by for a catch-up, a coffee break or a homemade bake, we'd love to see you.

Got a skill? Got an hour? Get involved!

The Umbrella Centre is run by the community, for the community and we’re looking for volunteers to help keep it buzzing.

Admin, handy skills, social media, events, IT, fundraising, (or just a willingness to help!) Every skill and every bit of time counts.

Whether it’s 1 hour a week or ad hoc, you can make a real difference.

If you’ve ever enjoyed a baby group, yoga class, dance session or event here… this is your chance to give back to the community
