    Story

    In a nutshell Dottie's Cafe will be:

    Providing high quality, delicious food and drink for local people and visitors whilst looking at ways to address food poverty and reduce food waste within the city. 'Pop Up Chef' evenings will provide a space for a variety of foods and tastes to be celebrated at Dottie's.

    A Deaf Cafe where the staff sign, Deaf people have full access and work experience opportunities and customers can order in BSL. We will also be running BSL courses and running courses such as Driving Theory, English and Computing Skills in BSL.

    A hub for children educated outside of school and their families with specific sessions provided in English, Maths, Art, etc for all ages. Cupcake Shake , the business run by young teens, will have an outlet within Dottie's which will provide safe work experience opportunities for teenagers. Staff will be DBS checked. Information and advice will be available for new home educators looking to connect with others outside of school.

    A welcoming place for all visitors, providing English as a second language tutoring sessions for refugees and anyone wanting to improve their reading, writing and speaking skills. Dottie's will welcome volunteers with additional needs and will have a support worker available daily to ensure everyone is included and supported.

    Accessible for all. The building will be improved to provide wheelchair and pushchair access, an additional room will be installed as a standalone accessible/all-genders toilet. Braille menus will be provided. Community groups will be encouraged to use the space for meet ups and get togethers. Well behaved dogs will be welcomed inside. Our aim is for Dottie's Cafe to be the 'in crowd' that everyone is welcome to be 'in'.

    We would value your input in any way - ideas for using this incredible resource or join one of our volunteering teams. We're hoping to raise £7500 for kitchen equipment, spotty crockery and furniture. Thank you for your help!
