Whole venue at YMCA/Purplespoon Cafe, Highbridge

Having found a perfect venue inside the YMCA in Bridgwater I began to employ people (2 out of 3 of these first employees are still with me), and gradually we built up a bigger following, soon becoming a hub of the local community. As our team of passionate like-minded people grew, so did my passion for people and different cultures and ways of life. We began to invite several rough sleepers in for a quick drink and something to eat, then created a pay it forward scheme.

We are a small, family owned café who believe in supporting and giving back to our local community. Our staff are local people, who match our beliefs and not only work hard for us but also learn other skills that they are able to use in other areas of their lives.
