Crieff ConneXions is in the heart of South Crieff and seeks to bring people in Crieff together for support and to access local services. We want to break the cycle of loneliness and isolation impacting a range of people in our community.
Description
Crieff ConneXions Cafe is a social space in Crieff Connexions where people can meet, chat and find support from volunteers and staff. We will be open 3 times on the week providing a safe, accessible and warm environment for people from across the community to meet. A range of people in Crieff experience social isolation due to their family circumstances, age or condition. The community cafe provides a low-cost place to meet others, get support and access services. We would like to step up from offering tea, coffee and biscuits to delivering a warm plate of soup to those who come along. With this added value will reach more people and provide them with nourishment. We will be able to utilise some of the surplus vegetables and bread, which we collect, to make an impact on food waste. Money will be spent on storecupboard ingredients, equipment and training. Some existing volunteers will be upskilled to make and serve soup, we have young volunteers working with us as well as volunteers with special needs and those who find it hard to get work.. Crieff ConneXions also provides a community pantry, offering low-cost food, a school uniform shop, providing gently used school uniform, public WiFi, access to computers and printing and a low-cost second-hand shop. We want to provide support for people whilst giving the dignity and choice. For this part of the project we would like to reach out to local elderly people through an invitation leaflet,
Location: Crieff Connexions is on Church Street, Crieff.
