Our Pop Up Cafe is an extension of our ‘Keep Moving Teesside’ Chair Yoga and Exercise Project, where we are offering free tea, coffee and refreshments, as well as a safe, inclusive space for people to come together and socialise, with specialist support on-hand to support people to be more active out of class.
Our volunteers are at the heart of Cafe AMALA, helping to create a warm, welcoming, and inclusive space for everyone who attends. They greet participants, support conversations, assist with activities, and help with setting up and tidying the space. Most importantly, they offer time, kindness, and encouragement. They help to reduce isolation and build a strong sense of community and connection within our sessions.
All of our Cafe AMALA sessions are registered as warm, welcome spaces. There are over 25,000 registered warm welcome spaces across the UK. To see them all visit https://www.warmwelcome.uk/
