Community Cafes

Our POPPINS Community Cafés take place at various venues across North Somerset providing help and advice on all manner of subjects.

They have been taking place across North Somerset and proven very successful.

Their work has even been singled out for praise by the Government's Improvement and Development Agency (IDeA) in helping hard to reach groups access local services.

Each café event provides you with an opportunity to chat to council staff and councillors about your concerns and talk to trained advisors about range of everyday issues.

These advisors come from organisations such as Age Concern Somerset, the Citizens' Advice Bureau (CAB) and the Police services.

All are on hand to answer your questions and offer any help they can amid a cafe atmosphere where snacks and refreshments are also available.
