FDAMH Welcome Community Café Launch

Posted on May 30, 2019

Falkirk District Association for Mental Health (FDAMH) is launching their new Welcome Community Café project on Monday 3^rd June, 10:30am in the Atrium of the Forth Valley Royal Hospital, Stirling Road, Larbert, FK5 4WR.

The Welcome Community Café is a community-based project aiming to help reduce isolation and loneliness. The idea is to encourage people to share their table in local cafes and coffee shops by displaying a small card reading, “Happy to share my table”.

There is no pressure to share a table, only a way to link those willing to share a table in a busy café with those unable to ask.
