VOLUNTEER PARTY
Everyone is welcome to come along and talk to us about the Little Cat Café and our food programmes during a small party on the bandstand on Saturday 14th July from 3pm to 5pm.
The gathering will be a small thank you to volunteers, but also is designed to give everyone the chance to talk to Monique, the café manager, and Rebecca, our food manager about the café, its menu and their role. The Little Cat Café is run by local people (Myatt’s Fields Park Project) with the aim that local people have a real say in what happens there so we look forward to hearing your views.
There will be free cake and tea for everyone who takes part.
