A Week in the Community
What an incredible and inspiring week it’s been, spending time across our community—not as a professional but as a neighbour. I’ve had the chance to visit local projects, community centres, churches, sheltered housing complexes, pubs, neighbourhood cafés and restaurants. Along the way, I’ve met new people, made meaningful connections, and listened to the hopes, concerns, and everyday realities of those who call this place home.
What’s struck me most is the quiet dedication of ordinary people who care deeply about building a sense of belonging. Their commitment to creating community—not from a place of authority, but from lived experience—has truly moved me.
This week has been a powerful reminder that real change grows through relationships—by walking with people, not doing things to or for them. The stories I've heard and the insights shared will stay with me for a long time.

Outdoor Coffee Pot: Friday 16th May
Happy 1st Birthday to The Coffee Pot!
One year ago, The Coffee Pot opened its doors—and what a journey it’s been! In just 365 days, our café has become so much more than a place to grab a coffee. It’s become a space for connection, conversation, and community.
We’ve shared stories, laughter, ideas, and quiet moments over pancakes and cups of coffee. We've welcomed new faces, built lasting friendships, and grown into something truly special—together.
To everyone who has pulled up a chair, brewed a pot, washed a cup, or simply passed through: thank you. You are what makes this place home.
Here’s to good coffee, great people, and many more years of being community.
With love and gratitude,
The Coffee Pot Team
