Torbay Half Marathon

Su and Marie have both worked at the Community Health and Social Care Team in Newton Abbot for the last few years and have seen first-hand what a valuable community resource the café is in promoting the independence of people with a learning disability and providing them with opportunities for work experience and employment.

They ran on 12th September 2021 and with the money they raised we were able to purchase our display chilling unit which can be seen in pride of place on the front counter.

Christmas Carols

In 2019 and 2020 we raised a total of £1000 by singing carols outside our local Sainsburys with the help of many friends.

In 2021 we were supported by Spectrum Music who carolled for us 3 times a week throughout December at a variety of venues including Sainsburys, Tesco, Morrison’s and Marks and Spencer.

An incredible total of £3000 was raised.
