Under the original funding agreement, Adapt (NE) committed to sustaining a community caf\u00e9 space for at least five years, a commitment we fully honoured and enjoyed. During that time, the caf\u00e9 has provided a welcoming, inclusive space for local people and hosted a range of additional community projects along the way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\">\u00a0Like many caf\u00e9s and hospitality venues across the country, the caf\u00e9 has faced growing financial pressures in recent years due to the lasting impact of Covid-19, rising costs and changing patterns of demand. During 2024\/25 this led to operating losses of around \u00a310,000, which the charity covered from its core funds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\">\u00a0Unfortunately, this level of loss is not sustainable long-term.<\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\">After careful consideration, the Board of Trustees made the difficult decision in August 2025 to close the caf\u00e9. We understand how disappointing this has been for some in our community, and this was not a decision taken lightly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\">\u00a0Importantly, whilst not a caf\u00e9, with a small grant received in December, the building is open as a community hub, with our <a href=\"https:\/\/adapt-ne.org.uk\/index.php\/community-hub\/\"><strong>Warm Space<\/strong><\/a> running three days a week. We would love to continue welcoming people in to drop by, say hello, and share ideas or feedback on the future of the space. Your voices and ideas matter as we look ahead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\">Thank you to everyone who has supported the caf\u00e9 over the years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/p><\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3262","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
