Parenting a toddler is a full-time sport—and you deserve a hot cuppa while they play! ☕👶✨

A quick note for parents & carers: While our volunteers are here to keep the tea flowing, our space is self-supervised. We just ask that you stay on "Chief Co-Pilot" duty to keep an eye on your little adventurer while you unwind.

A space for you ...

Struggling with a fiddly phone setting or an app that just won't behave? 📱☕

Technology is great when it works, but it can be thoroughly frustrating when it doesn't!

If you’re trying to set up WhatsApp to message family, figure out how to attach a photo to an email, or just want someone patient to walk you through a setting on your phone, bring your device along to Chill & Chat.

We aren't a high-tech repair shop, but our friendly volunteers are always happy to sit down over a cup of tea and give you a hand with the basics.

No appointments needed. No charge. No tech jargon.
