A community worker who set up a community café out of her own pocket has opened up about her push to have an “intergenerational community hub” for people in The Meadows. The Queens Walk Community Café has young people, some who would otherwise be doing nothing volunteering on a regular basis. With the cost of living in mind, the café is coming up with ways to support people in the community.
At the café, hot affordable meals are served from Monday to Friday. The café on Queens Walk opened in June after the owner, Loretta Kelly saw a need for it in the community.
Loretta Kelly, 41 was raised in The Meadows area. Loretta has worked in the health and social care industry for years.
