TOP Community Cafe

FOLLOWING ON FROM THE APPOINTMENT OF A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MANAGER IN 2010 ALONGSIDE THE EXPANDING POPULARITY OF THE CHARITY’S TOP SHOP, BY 2012 THE OSBORNE PARTNERSHIP HAD ESTABLISHED ITSELF AS AN INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT FEATURE OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.
AND SO, FUNDED BY THE NATIONAL LOTTERY SPONSORED FAIR SHARE TRUST, THE PARTNERSHIP SUCCESSFULLY APPLIED FOR A GRANT TO CONVERT THE SOUTHERN END OF THE CENTRE INTO A COMMUNITY CAFÉ WITH ITS OWN FULLY EQUIPPED TRAINING, MEETING AND FUNCTION ROOM.

FOLLOWING ITS OFFICIAL OPENING IN DECEMBER 2012, THE TOP COMMUNITY CAFÉ NOW SERVES A RANGE OF DELICIOUS SNACKS, LIGHT MEALS AND DRINKS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND OFFERS A FULLY CATERED MEETING ROOM FOR USE BY LOCAL RESIDENTS, VOLUNTARY GROUPS AND CLUBS.
