A new cafe at The Entrance will provide a launching pad for young locals to move through their personal challenges and build real-world employability skills.
Situated in the grounds of The Entrance Community Centre and featuring covered areas and a children’s playground, the Imagine If Community Cafe is designed to create a safe and welcoming environment where everyone feels they belong.
The cafe is a project of the Iris Foundation, a local mental health charity that specialises in resilience training and suicide prevention initiatives.
The organisation will provide opportunities for young people to build their hospitality skills alongside highly experienced professionals, with additional wellbeing support on hand to create the best chance of success.
“Our cafe is more than just a place to enjoy great coffee and light meals,” Iris Foundation CEO Sue Liptrott said.
“It serves as a social hub, bringing people together to connect, share experiences and support one another.”
Everyone is welcome.
It’s open 8am to 2pm, Monday to Saturday, on the corner of Battley Ave and Oakland Ave, The Entrance.
