Meet, Connect, Chat

What is a Conversation Cafe?

It’s a friendly, social space with different conversation topics. You can join in any chats that interest you — from art to activism, sport to social change, or anything else that’s on your mind. There’s no set agenda; it’s shaped by you.

Why are we doing it?

We want to bring together new and long-standing members to connect, share, and build relationships. It also helps us at Barnwood Trust understand what’s important to you and how we can better involve your experiences in our work.

How do I get involved?

We want everyone to be able to get involved but there are limited spaces for each event. To book your space please get in touch with a connector or email us. We will do our best to get you onto your preferred date. You can book onto two sessions at a time up to two months in advance.

Fuel will be reimbursed and taxi’s provided for those that need it. We encourage you to attend sessions at a range of locations.
