westraven community cafe & garden
We work in an area of Peterborough with high deprivation supporting residents
with Health & Wellbeing, Employability and Youth programmes, tackling Social
Isolation and Exclusion and Social and Environmental issues through our
Community Café & Garden. We are a friendly and committed team of community
workers and volunteers and we are here to support the people of the WestRaven
community, and the wider Peterborough area. We work in collaboration with our
friends and partners. We have a range of indoor and outdoor venues where we
deliver all sorts of activities, events and workshops and create opportunities
for people to volunteer. Together we are working towards building a sustainable
legacy of better health and wellbeing for our communities. We are an independent
charity (CIO) and have a board of Trustees from the community, with one full
time Garden Manager and one full time Café Manager. We were setup with BigLocal
money from the National Lottery and have an LTO (Local Trusted Organisation)
called Cross Keys Homes who offer support, mostly in the form of managing HR
contracts, payroll and supplying IT and email systems.
