What is Café Connections?
Café Connections was born on 23 April 2020 when Ashley realised that our lovely clients were missing out on all their usual in person social activities with no clue as to when these would start again. It is an online meeting, every Thursday, at 10am, held on Zoom.
The format of the meeting is relaxed but informative. We each take it in turns to talk about how we've been getting on during the week and anything we've been up to. We then hear from a different speaker each week, and we round off the meeting with a Q&A session which might be directed at One Stop Organisers to help solve a problem, or something for the group to discuss.
Who is it for?
The group is aimed at the over 70s (but don’t worry, we don’t check passports or birth certificates!) and is for interested and interesting people who want to connect both now, whilst meeting up is harder, and in the future when sometimes connecting from home is just easier.
Here’s Malcom (you may have seen him on our home page!) telling you a bit more about it:
