At Linthorpe Road Methodist Church and Resource Centre we have a new opportunity
to develop our café – to serve the community.
Our vision is for the space to be used by voluntary and community groups, as a relaxing,
informal venue. The café is generously sized, accommodating around 35 people comfortably,
and there are facilities for making tea and coffee and serving snacks.
We already have a couple of organisations using the café:
Boro Angels, who provide a caring presence in Middlesbrough Town Centre and try to
make a contribution to the safety and well being of people who are out at night,
use the space as a base for their volunteers on a Saturday night;
The Methodist Asylum Project hold a coffee morning drop-in on a Thursday morning.
We are also hoping to develop a Youth café, in conjunction with Youth Works, to provide
a space for young people to come and relax, perhaps a couple of evenings each week.
But, the rest of the time we have an empty space, which we are keen to make available
to community groups.
In addition, we have the kitchen area, which is fully equipped and finished to a
high catering standard. This can be used either in conjunction with the café space,
or independently.
We are delighted that Millennium Meals, who provide a meals-on-wheels service to
the Middlesbrough community, have moved in and are using the kitchen space seven
mornings a week.
But that still means the kitchen is available for other groups in the afternoons
or evenings.
The Café (formerly Wholly Organic) is situated in the Linthorpe Road Methodist Church
and Resource Centre, on the crossroads of Linthorpe Road and Borough Road. (Entrance
on Borough Road)
