The Chatty Cafe Scheme

The Chalfonts and Gerrards Cross Buckinghamshire Community Wellbeing Hub is delighted to announce that it is part of The Chatty Cafe Scheme. The Chatty Cafe Scheme is a national initiative which aims to tackle loneliness and social isolation by creating welcoming spaces where people can come together for a friendly chat. As part of this initiative, the hub hosts a weekly ‘Chatter & Natter’ table, open to all members of the community.

The hubs “Chatter & Natter” table runs every Friday (excluding Bank Holidays) from 9:30am to 11:30am.

The hub is currently recruiting volunteers to host and support the delivery of the scheme. Applicants must be aged 18 or over and willing to provide a character reference upon request from a member of The Chatty Cafe Scheme staff. 

Volunteers play a vital role in ensuring the scheme remains accessible, helping create opportunities for a wide range of people to connect and engage socially. Volunteers are free to choose their hours in line with the opening times of the ‘Chatter & Natter’ table, with no minimum time commitment required. 

Loneliness is a silent issue, and this is a great way to bring people together in our community. Do you enjoy meeting new people? Are you interested in an opportunity to support and enhance the wellbeing of others? If so, please get in touch.
