Community Cafe
Community Café
We will establish a Community Café at our Springwood practice. Run as a not-for-profit business, the Café will provide a place for people to meet, offer affordable and healthy food and serve as a centre for community networking.
The Café itself will be open from 9am-3pm, with all proceeds reinvested back into its operation to ensure its long-term viability. It will be a child and family-friendly environment.
Our aim is that the Café will help:
- Reduce social isolation (provide a place to meet neighbours, other members of the community)
- Increase general safety (more people out and about, somewhere for people of all ages to go)
- Encourage employment & training opportunities (TAFE Outreach, parenting programs, work experience, use of volunteers in the café)
- Improve access to outreach support services (employment agencies, Centrelink, child & family support).
