*RBWM World Cafes!*


What is a RBWM World Cafe?

  • An informal networking event where residents can have open conversations about what matters most to them, access relevant support and mingle with other residents/groups


We have now held a World Cafe style event in every ward across the Borough.

For each event we have compiled an evaluation and outcomes report that summarises the key themes and priorities that residents discussed and the actions that were taken post event.

The reports are available to view under the 'Documents' tab on the right

We are now working on the next steps of the programme and will use the World Cafe insights to generate sustainable resident-led solutions to the issues that matter most to residents. To find out more please visit our Innovation Fund page.

For an overview of each World Café event please see the 'Previous World Cafe's' tab below

    Our 18th World Cafe took place on 10th June 2023 at Cox Green Community Centre.

    The event was well attended by stakeholders but only had a few residents. This is potentially due to the hot weather as well as the date as it clashed with school summer fairs in the area.
