Suffolk’s Rural Coffee Caravan

The Rural Coffee Caravan aims to create social spaces in our rural places.

Knowing what’s going on in our own communities isn’t always easy. It is especially difficult if access to transport is limited, or the village shop or pub or post office has gone or you live in one of Suffolk’s very scattered parishes.

Rural Coffee Caravan exists to help rurally isolated people in the county access services and information to improve their lives, health and wellbeing, and to bring people together, empowering and strengthening rural communities.

We work to alleviate loneliness and social isolation by providing occasions that engender conversations, leading to people feeling more a part of their community. The service is free and accessible to everyone and details can be found on their website and a calendar of locations of  where the Rural Coffee Caravan will be in the coming weeks can be found here.
