This was a small, intimate and personal World Cafe but 1-1 and group conversations proved invaluable and extremely powerful with some excellent resident ideas and solutions! Residents really enjoyed the warmth of good conversation, good company and the extent of information provided! Lots of information and support was provided on the cost of living to support our communities alongside materials on public health such as the FLU and COVID vaccines over a cuppa.

  Another great World Cafe event at Eton Wick Village Hall. This was an evening event and we had about 55 attendees. The event was split into to halves. The first half involved residents sitting down and having conversations around cost of living and coming up with potential solutions. The second half was networking and hot dogs! There were an array of stands such as the Green Doctor, Social Prescribing and People 2 Places.

  Some great conversations took place with our facilitator Julia and the team will now review the discussions and write up the evaluation and outcomes report

  Our Hurley World Cafe took place on 21st July 2022 at Hurley Village Hall.

  
  

  The event was smaller than our previous events with 16 people in attendance.

  
  

  We have learnt that for our future World Cafe events we may need to adapt the format to better reflect the support that is needed in the community. For example, for our Walthams World Cafe we will be adopting a speed networking format to allow residents learn about as many services as possible.
