To create a welcoming space where community come together to share good food, learn new skills, combat loneliness, and sustainability

by Valeria Mizuno-Turner in Peterborough, North Northamptonshire, United Kingdom

We’re the co-founders of the Incredible Bakery Company, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to introduce the Incredible Community Café! This isn’t just any café—it’s a space where delicious, healthy food meets sustainability and community-building. Our vision is to create a welcoming place for everyone, no matter their dietary needs. We’ll be offering tasty, gluten-free, and vegan baked goods, while promoting eco-friendly habits and supporting local producers and small businesses.

Our goal is to build a café that does more than just serve food—it will be a hub for connection, learning, and social impact. We’ll offer workshops on gluten-free and vegan baking, alongside lessons on sustainable living, including recycling tips and waste reduction strategies. We also plan to implement a Robin Hood scheme, ensuring that those in financial need can still enjoy nutritious meals. This initiative is at the heart of our mission to build a café that supports everyone in our community, no matter their circumstances.

The funds we raise will be critical in bringing this vision to life. We’ll use them to hire and train staff, buy essential equipment like a barista machine and waffle griddle, and secure the materials needed for our workshops. With the support of Oundle Town Hall, we’ve secured a fantastic location at Fletton House, which will serve as a central meeting point for the community.

But it’s not just about food or workshops. The café will actively tackle loneliness, a growing issue in the UK, by providing a space where people can gather, interact, and build meaningful connections. With social events and activities designed to improve mental health, we aim to create a space that nurtures both body and mind. Additionally, our focus on sustainability—through a community recycling project and partnerships with local waste management organizations—will contribute to reducing landfill waste and supporting the environment.

By contributing to the launch of the Incredible Community Café, you’ll be helping to create a sustainable, inclusive space that feeds the body, mind, and spirit, while protecting our planet.
