Talking Cafés Change Lives

Discover a welcoming space for meaningful conversations and community connections at Talking Cafés.

What Happens at a Talking Café?

Talking Cafés provide an opportunity for individuals to gather in local cafés for weekly drop-in sessions. These casual meetings offer a chance to socialise, learn about community events, and engage with the Living Our Best Life project. Hosted by a welcoming Talking Café host, participants are encouraged to attend, connect with others, and hear from guest speakers. Participants can buy themselves a coffee to enjoy along with a good chat. These one-hour gatherings, open to everyone, require no prior booking, and welcome newcomers at any time.

Lives We've Changed

Discover the incredible impact of the Living Our Best Life project through inspiring testimonials and real-life success stories.
