Burnham-On-Sea’s community cafe The Waffle Hub has celebrated its second birthday this week.
The Community Café, a non-profit making charity that’s based at Burnham Methodist Church in College Street, marked the milestone on Wednesday (August 28th) when its volunteers gathered to celebrate a busy year.
Liz Bennett says: “We have been wonderfully supported by a number of volunteers and have been fortunate to have received grant funding from several sources this year. These enabled us to open 5 days a week from January to July. However, in the absence of further grants we have been forced to reduce our opening hours back to 3 days a week.”
“The Hub caters for a wide range of people and hosts many organisations that provide advice and guidance for people in Burnham. We would like to expand these services again as soon as possible, and to this end we have launched a Just Giving page where anyone can donate to the charity via https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/wafflehub.”
“All donations, large or small will help to ensure the future of the Hub. Thank you for your support this year.”
