Route 23

Route 23 is a 1 day a week pop up coffee shop in Spring Lane Neighbourhood Centre, open every
Tuesday

Our Story
Route 23 is run by local charity Time Out as a social enterprise. Since 2006 Time Out has existed as a charity aiming to serve the local community by reaching out to those in challenging circumstances through regular clubs and events. We create spaces for friendship and supportive community where people can develop a sense of purpose, belonging and self worth. The idea of Route 23 was

born out of the desire of many local residents to promote a stronger sense of community in the Spring Lane area of Canterbury. In 2015 Time Out was awarded a grant from People's Health Trust using money raised by HealthWhole through The Health Lottery and the project came to life. We have had generous help from many along the way including our local Asda store and have just received further lottery funding for this year. By working with residents to support the setting up and running of a small pop up coffee shop within the neighbourhood centre, initially for one day a week, we hope to provide a hub for meeting friends - or making new friends - and to make Tuesdays something to look forward to.
