We want to create opportunities for people to meet over coffee and find new friendships and community.Coffee & Connections is only open to people over 18. Meet ups will take place in public, and we ask all participants to be mindful of their own safety when attending - for example letting a friend or family member know where you are and thinking carefully before sharing personal information such as your home address with other participants.We will run two sessions each day from the 24th November - 30th November.This link is for the morning sessions.

We want every customer or visitor to leave our shop feeling better connected with the community. By reinvesting our profit back in to projects and activities “every book sold makes a difference”.Loneliness can have a devastating effect on someone’s life, often leading to depression and sometimes the taking of a person’s own life or an unbearable sadness that a person lives with for the rest of their life. It can become exaggerated by a society that values social media but has lost the value of close friends and neighbours. In an age where we have the opportunity to be more connected than ever, there are people who go for days, weeks and even months without having a conversation.House of Books & Friends has been set up as a Community Interest Company (meaning it seeks to benefit the community rather than private shareholders) and will offer initiatives for customers and businesses through pay it forward schemes, as well as opportunities to make connections with their community through events and a café.Projects funded by book sale profits will engage the square mile around the shop, working alongside local charities to combat social isolation and connect a wide breadth of people including the elderly, new parents, and local schools.We aim to grow our network of bookshops across the country and the set up and initial running of the shops is funded by gunnercooke llp." } ] } ] ```
