It is 18 mths since we opened our Side Door Café. It has proven to be our wellbeing launchpad! Locals pop in for a cuppa, group participants stick around for a chat after their group sessions, potential clients use it as their first point of contact and a place where they can reassure themselves that they will receive the support they need. Our Side Door Cafe has also grown into a wellbeing hub where people are constantly surprising themselves by taking part in our Side Door Sessions - 30 mins of wellbeing activities after lunch and before our afternoon activities commence. Our sessions include Irish and French language groups, weekly singalong, musical instrument sessions, book club and much more. Members of the Ashford Place team can also be found having a break and are happy to chat with anyone they meet there! Our space is available for you to use for your meetings or to showcase you work. The space has been used by local groups e.g. Cricklewood Improvement Programme, Brent Pensioners Forum, Irish Music and Dance London, Hera Pictures, Eastern European Resource Centre and many more. Our garden continues to flourish and gets lots of compliments. We have quite a number of keen gardeners in our gardening club and welcome more.
Why not support us in our work by joining us for a cuppa (we offer great value and taste!) and a chat or even a singalong. We also offer volunteer opportunities and in particular are on the lookout for baristas!
