Uttlesford based charity Council for Voluntary Service Uttlesford

(CVSU) has launched a new weekly Farmer’s Community Cafe for those who

are or who have been involved in working in the agricultural sector

The new weekly farming social group takes place every Friday morning

between 10.00 a.m. and 12.00 p.m. The non-profit venture is part of

the charity’s wider work to combat rural isolation and loneliness,

particularly among the retired and elderly through the Community Builder

programme. On offer is free one-to-one support for older community

members and local groups, as well as assisting older people in exploring

and accessing social activities.

Cammas Hall Farm, a family owned and run business in beautiful

countryside on the Essex/Hertfordshire border is the venue for the

weekly meetings, and they have kindly made their Tea Barn available for

this venture to bring agricultural workers together.
