Conversation Cafes are run monthly at 30 Clarence Street. Firstly, and most importantly, there’s always lots of refreshments, sandwiches and cake provided!
Each Conversation Café will have different topics to cover, with the questions sent a week or two before the event so there’s plenty of time to prepare answers and not feel like you have been put on the spot.
It’s a relaxed, non-judgemental space, which allows for people with lived experience and people who run services to come together and have a chat. Everyone in these sessions will have an equal chance to share their view, as everyone’s view is equally important. If, however, you don't feel comfortable in sharing your view, that is all good too.
Expenses
Expenses for the day will be covered (i.e. travel/parking/childcare) and there will be forms on the day which you can fill out to cover these.
Parking
There is parking directly across the road from 30 Clarence Street at Union Terrace Car Park (Clarence St, York YO31 7ES)
What should I wear/bring?
Please wear whatever you feel comfortable in - this is not a formal event, and we want you to feel at ease. There is no need to bring anything other than yourself!
Refreshments
Refreshments and lunch will be available on the day. Please email Ben Hutchinson (ben.hutchinson@yorkcvs.org.uk) if you have any dietary requirements.
Additional Needs
If you have any additional needs which you would like to let us know about, please do let us know and we will do our very best to accomodate for them.
If you have any further questions, you can email ben.hutchinson@yorkcvs.org.uk, or call 01904 621133 and ask for Ben, who will be happy to help.
