About
The Commons Community Cafe & Kitchen serves ethically sourced coffee, locally-made cakes, sweet treats and nourishing meals. It provides affordable food, cooked by local people using local produce. They support local growers & land-workers, contributing to the local food economy & paying local people a real living wage.
The Commons is run by Common Ground Colchester, a community cooperative designed to meet the needs of the community. It is democratically-managed with an open & accessible membership policy.
Watch Marley explain exactly how it will work, and how you can get involved.
