We are pleased to announce

Pleel free and welcome to come to the cafe,

Good food, Good prices,

We look forwad to seeing you and serving you.

A quick update on the

foodbank, while we’re here. As you can imagine with the current financial issues in the world at the moment the

foodbank has gone through the roof with many more people using and needing it. This is, of couse, a great thing to

have, the only problem is that this means that the food is moving very quickly.
We would be very grateful if

anyone could possibly donate some food for the food bank to keep it running,
Here’s a list of what we’re

particularly short of or actually out of:

Noodles, the cheap 10p ones
Potatoes, tinned and dried
Rice

Pudding, tinned
Milk, UHT 500ml & 1litre
Fruit, tinned
Fruit Juice, UHT
Pasta / Cooking Sauces, tinned

/ jars or sachets
Breakfast cereals, large or small- the variety packs we split to feed 2 single people (4 boxes

each)
Biscuits, large & small packs
Tomatoes, tinned – I never thought we’d run out of these
Healthy

Snacks, raisins / cereal bars etc

Obviously we are grateful for anything that anyone can give or help us

out with just thought some guidelines would help

Well, here we are at the

start of a brand new year! At times like these we normally look back and reflect over the past year, but in this

case so much has happened in 2008 that I could not possible fit it all on here, but as an overview there has been:

Cheap meals, free meals, sports days, chilled days. Dance schools, fitness work outs, youth groups MCing.

Parents and toddlers, weddings, foodbanks, accomodation finding, getting people onto course, helping people get

jobs, christmas meals and a santa!

Now if that doesn’t sound like a good year, I don’t know what does.

Last year was an amazing year but we are now looking forward to this year and looking with great

anticipation. 2009 promises to be a great year.

Bring on 2009!
