Chatty Café - every Friday at Cross's Coffee Shop

We’ve joined the Chatty Café scheme, a nationwide project to reduce loneliness.

Feeling lonely and isolated can have a huge effect on our mood and mental wellbeing. But simply having a chat and connecting with each other can really turn someone’s day around. Our 'Chatty Table' will help people make those connections and hopefully feel a bit less alone.

When you come to the café, look out for the table with a yellow triangular sign, and volunteers wearing a yellow lanyard.

As well as getting people chatting to each other, we can talk with you about any problems you might be having and what support you need. We can offer some encouragement or advice on the spot.

We can also arrange for you to get more support. This could be one-to-one help from nurses or GPs at Cumbria Health, support workers at mental health charity Everyturn, housing and money advice from Home Group, or help from our other partner organisations.
