| Our Wish | As our lunch clubs and community cafe are extremely busy, we are incurring more breakages with our crockery. We are also working towards being a Dementia Friendly building which means all crockery must be coloured (not white or clear). We can accommodate a maximum of 35-40 people per sitting. We are looking for: plates, side plates, bowls mugs with large handles, teaspoons and medium sized milk jugs
