Chatty Café Scheme
The Chatty Café Scheme is the UK’s leading non-profit organisation tackling loneliness.
Within West Northamptonshire we offer face-to-face meet-ups where venues offer ‘Chatter and Natter’ tables, where customers can get together and chat. There are hundreds of venues around the UK, many Chatter and Natter tables are hosted by Chatty Table Volunteers and designed to reduce loneliness and/or social isolation.
We are also working in partnership with Action for Happiness to help people create a happier world, with a culture that prioritises happiness and kindness.
Included within the initiative there will be access to the ‘AFH 10 Keys’ postcards, 10 Days of Happiness - a free online programme to boost wellbeing, and a free 6-week Happiness Habits Course Toolkit.
For more information, please contact Emma Parry, Community Projects Officer, on 0300 126 7000 or email [email protected].
