Coffee trike venture launches fundraiser to turn shipping container into permanent park café

The owners behind a community venture selling coffee and cakes to park goers via a bright yellow trike have unveiled plans to turn a 40-foot shipping container into a park café.

Grounded MCR was set up in 2021 by Levenshulme couple Kerry and Nat to help people with anxiety return to work and build up career skills in young and vulnerable people. The yellow trike will often be seen at green spaces like Cringle Park and Platt Fields each week.

Kerry and Nat have now launched a fundraiser to help them transform an abandoned storage container they found on Facebook into a café and events space in Levenshulme’s Cringle Park that will have the community at its heart.
