The Wellbeing Community Café is based in the heart of Madeley High Street. The community café offers both preventative and responsive support to individuals, to enable them and their families to live well and safely in their community. Individuals are able to develop their independence skills and receive information, advice, and support about daily living. The project is a brand-new initiative for Telford and Wrekin CVS. Working alongside DENSO as a major corporate partner is an exciting venture.

​

The community café provides:

​

• A bespoke training and employability programme, providing people furthest away from the job market opportunity to enhance their skills, including young people with an additional need, adults with disabilities, unpaid family carers, people without a permanent address and those in need of support with their mental health and wellbeing.

• An environment to provide bespoke training programmes for cooking on a budget, cooking for independent living, carer cooking courses, dementia awareness, safeguarding, food hygiene and any others based upon local need. A safe environment to decrease social isolation.

• A safe environment to access free meals to those who need one

• Inter-generational work (opportunities for older and young people to mix)

• Children’s Birthday parties for low-income families. 

Telford and Wrekin CVS's vision for the café is for it to be sustainable moving forwards towards the future. The model of delivery is one where we want to empower communities to care for each other, to build community provisions across the borough and ensure people are well and healthy.
