Community Sundays
Join us for Community Sundays, running weekly throughout the winter, offering a hot lunch on a ‘pay what you can’ basis at our café.
- Sundays until 15 March 2026
- 11am – 2pm
- A hot lunch – usually soup with a bread roll and hot drink
- Pay what you can, if you can
Food will be served up in a communal style, encouraging company and conversation in a warm and welcoming environment. It’s a great reason to get out and about on a winter weekend, enjoy some time in the park, and spend time with others.
Community Sundays is also taking place at our sister café – Winton Park Café (Bournemouth).
We would like to sincerely thank Dorset Community Foundation and the BCP Food & Energy Support Fund for providing funding for this initiative.
Welly Bank
Spending time outdoors is really good for our physical and mental health, but not everyone can afford clothing which copes with the colder or wetter winter months.
We’ve created a ‘Welly Bank’ at our café offering free-to-take wet weather clothing like waterproofs and wellies to help members of our local community enjoy the outdoors in all weathers.
A big thank you to everyone who has already donated wet weather items to our charity for the Welly Bank. We really appreciate your help so everyone can enjoy our parks – all year round.
Can you help us keep our Welly Bank stocked?
We’re looking for donations of good quality, unwanted or preloved cold/ wet weather outer wear, for all ages and sizes, such as:
- wellies, snow boots, walking boots
- waterproofs (separates or all-in-ones)
- rainproof jackets, coats
Please drop off any good quality clothing to the café during opening hours. Thank you.
