GO4 Christmas AppealWe managed to raise our target of £600 on JustGiving for our meals for the homeless. We are so grateful for everyone who donated and supported. Not only were folk generous via the fundraising page but also many came in and gave cash or cheques towards the project.

We would also like to thank the local TUC who raised money towards the project at a local event held at the Waiting Room.

Over the Christmas period, we will be providing many more hot meals through everyone’s generosity. This will make an enormous difference to so many people who otherwise would have to either go without or make tough decisions on what else to forgo instead.

So thank you, everyone.

Christmas update

It’s business as usual in the Market Cafe Holy Trinity Church, Trinity St, whilst negotiations continue with Colchester Borough Council with regard to the lease and refurbishment of the building.

Opening hours are 9.30 – 4.00 pm daily and until 4.30 pm on Saturdays.

There are extra traders in over Christmas period selling a range of hand-made goods, as well as normal traders selling jewellery, clothing, vintage goods, vinyl records, so check it out for that unusual gift.
The pay forward breakfast scheme continues during the colder months, and also home made soup is available for homeless people, free of charge. Donations for the breakfast/soup scheme are always welcome.

Coming in the New Year….

In the New Year the Cafe will reduce its openings to Mon/Fri/Sat and close on Tues/Weds/Thurs, but the last Saturday in every month will host a larger “pop up” market, where locally produced items can be purchased.
Every Saturday lunchtime there are live acoustic sets from young Colchesterian musicians.
