Human Kind Cafe

• You might think of Human Kind as being just a cafe, but it’s far more than that. It’s a local charity with a simple but powerful vision – creating a place where everyone experiences a lasting sense of belonging. Alongside its welcoming café, HumanKind brings people together through regular activities for all ages, helping to tackle loneliness and social isolation. The café operates on a “pay what you can” basis. Those who are able to contribute a little extra help fund meals and drinks for those who can’t, ensuring that no one is turned away because of their circumstances. Whether you’re popping in for a coffee, a meal or simply a friendly chat, you’ll always find a warm welcome.

Any surplus from our Film Thursday and Sunday Matinee screenings will be shared between them, based on votes cast by our audiences after each film.

So every ticket bought, drink enjoyed and slice of cake eaten helps “pay it forward” to support more good work in our community.
