Burrington Community Hub, based at All Saints Academy Plymouth (ASAP), is thrilled to announce the launch of its brand-new community café, made possible thanks to a generous £20,000 grant from the National Lottery Community Fund.

The café officially opened it’s doors on Tuesday 11th November at the hub in Honicknowle and will now be open every Tuesday between 9.15am and 12pm.

Designed to be a welcoming space for all, the community café will offer more than just tea and coffee. It will be a place to connect, chat, get creative, and take part in conversations around the hub’s exciting green spaces project. 

The vision behind the hub has always been to create a warm, inclusive space that builds on the strengths of ASAP, which is part of the Ted Wragg Trust, and works in active partnership with the wider community.

This latest initiative builds on the success of the hub’s first year which saw over 3,224 participants engage with the facility and support for 264 young people. It sits alongside the existing services and sessions from arts and crafts and parent groups and toddler sessions to specialist mental health support.

Rachel Earley, Community and Engagement Officer at All Saints Academy Plymouth said:

“This café is more than just a place to grab a cup of tea, it’s a space where people can connect, feel heard, and be part of something bigger. We’re so grateful to the National Lottery Community Fund for helping us bring this vision to life. Thank you so much to everyone who came along to the opening and to see what we have to offer.”

Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust said: 

“We’re incredibly proud to see Burrington Community Hub thriving as a space that brings people together. At the Ted Wragg Trust, we believe schools should be at the heart of their communities and this new café is a brilliant example of what can happen when vision meets support. We look forward to seeing the café become a vibrant, inclusive space where everyone feels welcome.”
