Who we are Our Community Hub Wellbeing Cafe & Toilets Future Vision To address the need for well-being in its client base, DCM plans to use the new premises to facilitate a mental health service. One aspect of this service will take the shape of a social enterprising wellbeing café which will: assist client relationship building encourage clients to make better life choices help lonely people experience friendship and community The café will be supported by volunteers and staff trained in mental health and will focus on inclusion, dialogue and care. Profits from the café, which will be open to everyone in the local community, will go directly back into the Charity, helping to fund the services needed to support people in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Funding The wellbeing cafe is still in its concept planning stage and as a consequence we are actively fundraising for this facility to help become a reality. Once our concept designs have been created we will start a funding raising campaign. Wellbeing Café Development The cafe will be accessed by its own entrance on the right hand side of the building and occupy the wooden floored area shown in the photographs. Toilet Facilities Before the café and other facilities can be opened up to the public it is necessary to refurbish the ground floor toilet facilities as they are presently in a poor condition and with no disabled access. A disabled toilet, accessible from the public spaces, is being created in conjunction with the Safe Space development. We are currently obtaining quotes to undertake this work as a matter of urgency. We are delighted that to support this vital infrastructure on the 6th May 2020 we were awarded a grant of £25,000 from the Garfield Weston Foundation to refurbish the toilets. 7 August 2020 - Building Work Complete All building work is now complete with just a mirrors and toilet roll holders to be added.
