More information

If your village doesn’t have a community café and you think it should (or would like to set one up!), you can contact the Think Communities South Cambridgeshire team for help and advice.

Drinks and snacks are usually very reasonably priced (or free), but it’s worth remembering that some community cafés only take cash and don’t accept credit/debit cards – check websites or call ahead to check.

Volunteering at a community café is free.
