Conversation Café

Be part of the conversation to shape the future of the Yor Community Wellbeing Hubs

We’re delighted that our next Conversation Café will be running at Yor Community Wellbeing Hub at Acomb Garth for the first time.

Conversation Cafés are informal, welcoming sessions where we work together with the community to help shape and improve the Yor Community Wellbeing Hubs. Each month, we focus on three topics that we want to explore and problem-solve collectively. Some examples of different topics are below:

• Language we use and whether it feels inclusive
• Ideas to improve how the hubs work or feel
• Suggestions for new groups, activities, or support

The aim is simple: to make the Yor Community Wellbeing Hubs more inclusive, welcoming, and accessible to everyone.

To help people feel comfortable and prepared, the topics and questions will be shared one week before the session, so no one feels put on the spot.

Conversation Cafés are relaxed, non-judgemental spaces where people with lived experience and people involved in running services come together as equals. Everyone has the opportunity to share their views, and every perspective is valued. If you’d rather listen than speak, that’s absolutely fine too.

And, just as importantly — there will always be plenty of refreshments, sandwiches, and cake.

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 limited parking at Acomb Garth, alternatively you can park for free at Morrisons in Acomb, with the venue being a short walk from there.

Morrisons - 4 Front St, Acomb, York YO24 3BZ

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
