The Chatty Cafe is a welcoming space and community social lounge open every Tuesday in the Thomas Wall Community Hall (64 Robin Hood Ln, Sutton SM1 2RG) between 11 am and 2 pm.  

Each 3-hour session is a safe place to meet for conversation and company.  

You can meet your neighbours to make friends and have conversations. Play a board game, read a newspaper or step inside for a warm welcome a free cup of tea, coffee and a pastry. 

Let’s have a chat!

The program was launched based on a need identified through consultation with other community and housing groups in Sutton for a warm and welcoming space for people to connect with others.

The project is designed to combat loneliness and social isolation. 

The scheme is registered with the national 'Chatty Cafe Scheme'.  https://thechattycafescheme.co.uk/    

The initial pilot of 10 weeks in early 2024 was funded by donations from private individuals.  In April 2024 we were awarded a grant from Sutton's Community Fund to keep the project going for the next 3 years.
