A KARINGAL cafe has introduced a weekly chat and catchup session to help people connect with each other.
Karingal PLACE Neighbourhood Centre is hosting the Chatty Cafe program each Wednesday from 10am to 12pm. The centre is hoping to bring people together to make new friendships and connections.
Frankston councillor Sue Baker visited the centre to launch the weekly event. She said “the Chatty Cafe initiative aims to reduce social isolation and loneliness by encouraging and creating opportunities for people to interact through conversation.”
“The aim is to kick start conversations, get people chatting to increase social connections within a community and possibly reduce loneliness along the way,” Baker said. “Thanks to the Chatty Cafe initiative, connections and friendships are made. Crucially, it provides a social outlet.”
Chatty Cafe also runs at Twisted Sista in Station Street Mall, and Rosie’s Cafe on Culcairn Drive. Karingal PLACE Neighbourhood Centre is at 103 Ashleigh Ave, Frankston.
