Round About Café

How do you feel?

Being a community café supported by Abri, we know that strong communities are built when people feel connected, valued and heard. That's why we're supporting , helping to ensure that the voices of our residents and customers are part of a national discussion about the future of community life.

We all experience community life differently. Some feel proud of their area, some feel inspired by their neighbours, and some feel scared to cross the street. We want to know how you feel.

Take part in the National Conversation and share what you value, what you've experienced, and what kind of community you want to live in.

📍 Join us at Round About Café, Westfield Corner, SO18 2LE
📅 Monday 24 August
🕞 3.30pm to 5.00pm

We'll be hosting a friendly facilitated discussion where you can talk about your experiences of community life and complete the National Conversation survey.
Refreshments will be provided.

📱 Participants will need to bring their own smartphone, tablet or laptop to complete the online survey.

All responses will help shape the official report from the Independent Commission on Community and Cohesion, helping to create a vision for how we can live well together.

Your experiences and ideas matter. By taking part, you'll be helping to ensure that communities like yours are represented and heard.

Could an evening Community Pantry session help you?

The Community Pantry at Round About Café is currently open Monday to Friday from 8am to 2pm.

We know these times don't suit everyone, so we're looking into whether there may be enough interest in opening for one hour on an evening each week.

If this is something you'd use, we'd love to know:

⏰ What time would work best for you?
📅 Is there a particular day of the week that would suit you?

Leave a comment below and help us understand what local people need.

This is just an idea we're exploring at the moment and not a confirmed change to our opening times.
