Yarmouth community café feeding local needy The Great Yarmouth Pathway Cafe & Support Centre, run by Minster Mission, has supplied 1233 meals to needy locals during April. Tony Rothe reports. The café has experienced a consistent influx of clients and new registrants this year, and they have now welcomed three new volunteers to the team. They have also developed a close relationship with the local Police Beat Officer which will help inter-organisation relations. Plans for a new food bank are now in advanced stages and the team hopes to make an announcement soon.
The café has recently introduced “volunteer voices” sessions, where volunteers have a chance to share feedback, ideas, concerns and suggestions with one another, the manager and the Chair of Trustees. This team bonding time enables everyone at Pathway to feel empowered and valued. As a result of its success, this is something that will now occur on a bi-monthly basis.
