Adur Community Cafe's vision is to forge friendships through food. Our aims are to overcome social isolation and to foster new friendships whilst enjoying freshly cooked and nutritious food, at a low cost. We operate on a pay-what-you-feel basis. This system enables dignity for our customers who may be on a low or no income. The customers that can afford to pay, effectively “pay if forward” for others. We are as sustainable with our food as we can be, we work in partnership with other food groups to utilise food supplies effectively. We give the Foodbank items we cannot use and vice versa. Our café is supported by volunteers, many of which are lonely, new to area of have had mental health issues. Their work at the café boosts their self-confidence and we work as a nurturing team.
We've been hit hard by inflation with costs for food and energy having risen significantly. All donations will help us to continue providing a fresh and filling meal as new friendships are formed! Thank you!
