Hilary opens the Nurture cafe

Hilary recently opened the new Lounge Cafe run by Nurture at Oxford Place Methodist Centre.

Nurture is a project run by St George’s Crypt that helps those who have had periods of homelessness, or find themselves excluded from employment for other reasons. The project was set up earlier this year to provide former clients and residents of St George’s Crypt with the opportunity to learn employability skills and to undertake on the job training and experience in horticulture and catering. The Lounge Cafe is a place where trainees can apply what they have learned.

The cafe will be open from 10.00am until 2.00pm serving sandwiches, hot snacks, tea and coffee – eat in or take away. For more information visit http://www.oxfordplace.org.uk/
