We have some very exciting news to share…
Thanks to everyone who fundraised and donated to our recent crowdfunding campaign, we did not end our most recent financial year in a deficit.
This, along with an additional project-specific grant, has allowed us to accept a brand new opportunity for Sunshine & Smiles and Café 21.
In 2025, we will be adding a new Café 21 location as we will be taking over the running of the much-loved community cafe at Hollybush Conservation Centre.
During January we will be taking time to do some planning and organising to enable us to re-open hopefully by February 17th 2025.
We're very excited for this development of our Café 21 project, and we can't wait to welcome customers old and new from February.
Stay posted for updates!
P.S. If you are interested in volunteering opportunities at either our Headingley or new Kirkstall locations, please do message us!
