Fundraising Project
We’re raising funds to help launch our new café in Chesham, with an exciting grand opening planned for the weekend of 4th July.
Your support will help us complete the final stage of setup, including a marquee for our Afternoon Tea dances and new decking to create a welcoming outdoor space for the community.
After a challenging few years and the closure of our previous site in July 2025, this new location brings a fresh start with great potential, including outdoor space, parking, and a warm local welcome.
Every contribution will help us open our doors in time and bring this much-loved community space back to life.
Thank you for your support.
Chris
