Changes in GO4 Market Cafe
GO4 Market Cafe is heading towards it’s 3rd anniversary this May and the last year has been a momentous and exciting one for us, with lots of new additions.
Licensed Bar
GO4 Market Cafe successfully applied to get Holy trinity a licensed premises, and we are now proud hosts of the Spanish themed bar Bodega la Iglesia. The bar opened n the summer to much excitement bringing cocktails, sherries, vino and sangria… as well as tapas. Although through the winter months hours have reduced you can still get a drink Monday-Saturday during cafe hours; and come spring (ad on special events) the bar can frequently be found open until 10pm.
New Appointment of Catering/Cafe Manager
We were thrilled with the appointment of Pepi to our team in the cafe. She head up the cafe bringing in her wake some beautiful additions to our menu with regular. The tapas started as part f the Bodega la Iglesia bar and proved so popular that it transitioned to the cafe 6 days a week. With daily specials and vegan options as well as traditional meat eaters tapas there is something for everyone. Pepi will also be helping to train up our volunteers, staff and apprentices in the cafe and in our other projects as they arrive.
The Market
Our market goes form strength to strength with regular traders still trading, with had some changes and welcome Vintage to Vogue as well as Art Effects. Our pop-ups have now returned, with dedicated pop up space near the market cafe entrance and adjacent to the tower. Pop-ups have proved a great way for start up local businesses to test out new products or business. Pop ups are available from as little as £12 a day, and discounts are available for charities. Contact janine@go4enterprises.org for details.
Since we reconfigured the market layout, so that the cafe is placed central in Holy Trinity we have been able to add in several new glass cabinets selling goods from GO4 Vintage (another branch of GO4 Enterprises) as well as other independent local traders, icluding Ina Scott, Cannon Antiques, Comics and Cogs and others. If you are interested in taking on a cabinet space please contact janine@go4enterprises.org to join the waiting list.
GO4 needs your support!
GO4 relies on trading activities for 85% of its income, That means this year we need to raise around £30,000 from donations, grants and share issues. If you would like to help us to continue our work with vulnerable unemployed people you can do so in one or more of these ways:
- Make a donation – although we can’t reclaim Gift Aid every penny you donate goes towards helping vulnerable individuals gain access to work experience, training, mentoring support and employment.
- Buy shares – every share purchase (£50 each ordinary share) is an investment in the lives and futures of vulnerable people. If you have significant funds to invest then talk to us about Social Investment Tax Relief – you can get 30% tax relief in the first year on your investment.
- Buy food and drink at our Cafe – every purchase helps us increase our turnover, lessens our dependence on grants and helps us to become more sustainable.
- Buy from the Market traders – although they are independent traders, by helping them you help us as they pay rent to us and they need to be profitable to be able to continue in business. Customers of the market also become customers of our cafe. They are also very nice people and very supportive of our mission!
2014/15 has been a difficult year for us and we need your continued support. Please get in touch via our contact page if you would like more information.
